Sweet little Holy child, we didn't know who
     D#
You were

Long time ago it seems You were born
Born in a manger Lord, sweet little Jesus boy

Chorus:
Fm7                       Cm7
Didn't know You'd come to save us all
   Fm7      Gm7    G#
To take our sins away
    Cm7         A#      G#
Our eyes were blind we did not see
   Fm7                  D#
We didn't know who You were

You have shown us how
And we are trying
Master You have shown us how
Even as You were dying

Chorus:
This world treats You mean Lord
Treats me mean too
But that's how things are done down here
We didn't know it was You

Didn't know You'd come to save us all
To take our sins away
Our eyes were blind we did not see
We didn't know who You were
