Christian Christmas music.
Christian song writer/ performer.
Story behind the song
Written in 1974 to be performed with the church youth group. The song playfully mocks the fact that Santa is not the Christian's meaning of Christmas. We celebrate the birth of the Christ child, the little baby boy.
Lyrics
Little baby boy dressed in swaddlin' clothes
Lyin in a manger so many years ago
Little baby boy, little baby boy, how I love you so.
Little baby boy born the highest King
Through the years we've turned around what Christmas morning means
But little baby boy, little baby boy, how I love you so.
We took the Christmas story and we laid it on a shelf
We traded baby Jesus for a jolly little elf
But did Santa hide upon the cross and die for all our sin?
And can he give us happiness long after Christmas ends?
Can Santa cause the blind to see and cause the deaf to hear
And can you get to heaven on a sleigh and eight reindeer?
That's why I say little baby boy, little baby boy, how I love you so
And on that Christmas morning when the church bells start to ring
I'm going to celebrate that day as the birthday of the King
Little baby boy, little baby boy, how I love you so.
