‘The little Lord Jesus, no crying he makes’.
We all have different taste, & while some may love this calm picture of the new-born Saviour, I have found it increasingly annoying & unreal. So of course I had to write a song about it! ‘The little Lord Jesus is crying’ tells the story with this theme as full of hope.
When a baby cries it means life. One of the best memories of my life is seeing our newly born twin sons on July 7, 1975, lying in their humid cribs, chests going up & down as they loudly announce their arrival. Jon & Thom (6lb 7 oz & 7 lb) were here, breathing in air for the first time & making a great sound.
1. Stars in the dark sky are speechless,planets don't know what to say.
Angels have stepped out of heaven, they've got the news for today.
The little Lord Jesus is crying, crying,
the little Lord Jesus is crying.
2. Now is the time for a party — music and dancing and lights.
Maybe we might hear the angels,singing together tonight.
The little Lord Jesus is crying, crying ....
Praise, and honour, glory to God never cease.
May the cry of Jesus bring us your peace,
bring us your peace, bring us your peace.
3. Mary, the mystery is deeper now that your labour is done;
mixed with the joy and the wonder pain for a mother and son.
The little Lord Jesus is crying, crying,
4. Jesus, you cry for the lonely,cry for the scarred and the used.
Give me a heart that is broken — help me to cry as you do.
The little Lord Jesus is crying, crying,
Praise, and honour, glory to God never cease.
May the cry of Jesus bring us your peace,
bring us your peace, bring us your peace.
