  C#
I wonder were you cold that night
F#
Lying there by Mary's side
C#
Taking your first breath
  F#
I wonder were you scared to death

A#m                 C#/F
Fully human, fully God
                        F#
Full of wonder and the blood
                       D#m               G#
That one day you would shed to save the world
A#m                 C#/F
Tiny feet and tiny hands
                                F#
With all the earth at their command
                    D#m         G#7
It must have felt strange to you

Chorus:
            F#
Sweet Baby Jesus
              C#
Come down to love us
            A#m   F#
To lie in a manger
             G#
So far from home
                F#
You could have left us
            A#m  D#
Helpless and so lost
                  D#m   G#
But you chose to save us
            F#
Sweet Baby Jesus

The first time Mary held you close
All wrapped up in tattered clothes
Did you see tears fall from her eyes
Just a mother holding her first child

Fully human, fully God
Full of wonder and the blood
That one day you would shed to save the world
Tiny feet and tiny hands
With all the earth at their command
Oh, it must have been strange to you

Chorus:
Sweet Baby Jesus
Come down to love us
To lie in a manger
So far from home
Oh, you could have left us
Helpless and so lost
But you chose to save us
Sweet Baby Jesus

Sweet Baby Jesus
Come down to love us
To lie in a manger
To die on a cross
Oh, you could have left us
Helpless and so, so lost
But you chose to save us
Sweet Baby Jesus

Sweet Baby Jesus
