Lyrics
King Jesus Was His Name
Words and Music by Mark S. Crocker
VS 1 Born a little baby
down in Bethlehem,
Born in such a time
with all the best of
them.
Nothing ordinary 'bout
this little babe
King Jesus was His
name.
All the rooms were
taken down in
Bethlehem,
Joseph knew his
chances--they were
less than slim.
In a stable Mary saw
His tiny frame,
King Jesus was His
name.
CH There a lowly manger
served as Jesus'
bed.
On a straw pillow
Mary laid His head.
As she sung a lullaby
she kept Him warm.
There in Bethlehem the
blessed Son of God
was born.
VS 2 Shepherds in their
fields were tending
to their sheep
Suddenly the sight of
angels made them
weep;
"The Messiah-He is
born", they would
exclaim.
King Jesus was His
name!
CH Celebrate with angels,
shout the news
abroad.
Tell the world that
Jesus-He was sent
from God.
Shout a hallelujah,
with the angels
sing.
Celebrate the birthday
of our Savior and
our King.
VS 3 Magi from the east
without a main
address,
Guided by a star with
heavenly GPS,
For the babe in
Bethlehem they
quickly came.
King Jesus was His
name.
