Well the news spread through Jerusalem, tonight a child is born

There are shepherds fallin' to their knees, and an- -gels blowin' horns

But in their golden halls, the Pharisees scoffed and drank their wine

They said, "It's only Hebrew prophesy, we don't care

And besides, He's just a kid, that's all He is

One more pebble in the grav- el, one more rumor in the rabble

How can He be king? He's just a kid" |

Well in no time, it seemed the world was knockin' on His door

Performin' miracles and wonders they had nev- -er seen before

Soon, the Pharisees stopped laughin', the silver sum was paid

And near the end He knelt down in the garden

And He prayed, "I'm just a kid, that's all I am

I'll need Your strength to see me through it, if it is Your will I'll do it

But how can I be king? I'm just a kid"

Now I think about the Baby and the Man at Christmas time

Of mothers, sons and fathers and children just like mine

About the power and un- selfishness, love and sacrifice

The Gift that we were given and the price

And how the news spread through Jerusalem, to- night a child is born

There are shepherds falling to their knees, and an- -gels blowin' horns

I wonder how on Earth the Pharisees could scoff and drink their wine

And say, "He's only Hebrew prophesy, we don't care

And besides, He's just a kid, that's all He is

One more pebble in the gra- vel, one more rumor in the rabble

And how can He be king? He's just a kid"
