Story Behind The Song
The song came to me while I considered the humanity of Christ, which includes the childhood that he lived but which is not recorded in the Bible. His childhood, his family, etc.
Song Description
The meaning is that people today may not realize that Jesus' humanity allowed to feel all the normal emotions and conditions that we all go through.

Lyrics
Verse 1
Did He ever as a small boy force a little bird to sing?
Did He ever heal a bird when it fell and broke its' wing
Did He ever as a child really count each little star?
Did He ever reminisce of His heavenly home afar?
Verse 2
Did He ever as a young boy fall and heal His bloody knees?
Did He ever ask the angels for His pain to ease?
Did He ever as a young man when the desert parched His lips?
Did He ever ask the rain to fall to take a little sip?
Chorus
No my friend this heavenly child was just like you and me.
He never asked help from above nor comfort for His ease.
Not once forever did He fall to satan's tempting power.
He knew His time had not yet come, He knew the day, the hour.
Verse 3
Did He ever spit into the face that spit into His own?
Did He ever curse the men who flayed His flesh down to the bone?
Did He ever on the cross not bridge the gap 'tween God and man?
Did He ever unfulfill His Father's will or change His plan.
Repeat chorus

One sacrifice for ever, now He reigns at God's right hand.
One birth, one life, one sacrifice, salvation's gift to man.
