Mary's Boy Child/Oh My Lord
Boney M. Lyrics

Mary's boy child Jesus Christ was born on Christmas Day
According to the Holy Bible, Jesus Christ was born on Christmas Day and this is the story of his birth

And man will live for evermore because of Christmas Day
The birth of Jesus Christ on Christmas Day gives man hope for eternal life

Long time ago in Bethlehem, so the Holy Bible said
The story of Jesus Christ's birth took place a long time ago, as recorded in the Holy Bible

Hark, now hear the angels sing, a king was born today
The angels sing to announce the birth of a king on this day

While shepherds watch their flocks by night
The shepherds are keeping watch over their flocks on a dark, quiet night

They see a bright new shining star
The shepherds see a bright and shining star in the sky

They hear a choir sing a song, the music seemed to come from afar
The shepherds hear a far-off choir singing a song about the birth of the king

For a moment the world was aglow, all the bells rang out
The world is filled with light and sound as the good news of the birth of the king spreads

There were tears of joy and laughter, people shouted
People are overcome with happiness and celebration, shouting and shedding tears of joy

Let everyone know, there is hope for all to find peace
The message of the birth of the king is one of hope and peace for all people

Oh my Lord, You sent Your son to save us
This song expresses gratitude to God for sending his son Jesus Christ to save humanity

Oh my Lord, Your very self You gave us
God gave the gift of his son Jesus Christ to humanity, representing God's very self

That sin may not enslave us, and love may reign once more
Through the gift of Jesus Christ, humanity can be freed from the enslavement of sin and experience love abundantly

When in the crib they found Him
When Jesus Christ was found in the manger where he had been born

A golden halo crowned Him
Jesus Christ was perceived as a holy figure, symbolized by a golden halo

They gathered all around Him, to see Him and adore (this day will live forever)
People from all around came to see and show their love for Jesus Christ, and this day will always be remembered as the day of his birth

They had become to doubt You, what did they know about You?
Many people had doubts and questions about God and his plans, and didn't fully understand what his gift of Jesus Christ meant

But they were lost without You, they needed You so bad (His light is shining on us)
Despite not fully understanding God's plans, many people knew they needed the light and guidance that only God could bring

With the child's adoration, there came great jubilation
The love and adoration shown to Jesus Christ by children brought great joy and celebration amongst all

And full of admiration, they realized what they had (until the sun falls from the sky)
People were full of admiration for Jesus Christ, and began to understand the significance of God's gift; they knew it would be remembered for all time
