Happy Birthday Jesus (I’ll Open This One for You)
[Intro]
Now, kids, hang on just a second before we start
You know, there's a reason we are all here in front of grandma and grandpa's Christmas tree
And if Trevor and E.P. would quit fighting long enough and be real quiet
This little song might help you understand

[Verse 2]
Long ago in a stable, there was a baby being born
His parents were Joseph and Mary and Joseph's big old heart was torn
'Cause he couldn't find a decent place for Mary to have her child
But Mary said it just seemed just right and she blessed it with her smile

[Chorus]
'Cause what made it special was the baby in her arms
God sent Him down to give the world a second chance for you and I
That's why we have Christmas at this time each year
It's the baby's birthday party that brings us so much cheer

[Interlude]
Now kids, the presents that all of you exchange on Christmas
Represents the gifts that baby Jesus received the night he was born
He got all his presents from three wise men
Who followed a star and walked a long, long way to the stable
So every time you tear open one of your presents, think about that baby and say
"Happy birthday, Jesus, I'll open this one for you"
[Chorus]
'what made it special was the baby in her arms
God sent Him down to give the world a second chance for you and I
That's why we have Christmas at this time each year
It's the baby's birthday party that brings us so much cheer

[Outro]
Okay, all together now
"Happy birthday, Jesus, I'll open this one for you"
