Mary's Christmas baby
Mary's Christmas baby
Is God's own Son
You see the star from the East came to the West
To show the wise men to the Savior's address
Oh yeah, He's God's only Son
Infant ruler of everything, that's why I said
Mary's Christmas baby
Mary's Christmas baby
Mary's Christmas baby
Is God's own Son
I said, the star from the East came to the West
To show the wise men to the Savior's address
Oh yeah, oh yeah, He's God's only Son
Oh yeah, yeah and they worshiped the King
Infant ruler of everything, somebody help me sing now
Mary's Christmas baby
Mary's Christmas baby
Mary's Christmas baby
Is God's own Son, I said that
Mary's Christmas baby
Mary's Christmas baby
Mary's Christmas baby
Is God's own Son
So go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
Why don't you go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
Mary's Christmas baby
Mary's Christmas baby
Mary's Christmas baby
Is God's own Son
Didn't you hear me now
Mary's Christmas baby
Mary's Christmas baby
Mary's Christmas baby
Is God's own Son
Did you hear me now?
Mary's Christmas baby
Mary's Christmas baby
Mary's Christmas baby
Is God's own Son
Hush little baby, don't You cry
And she brought forth her firstborn son
And wrapped in swaddling clothes
And laid Him in a manger
Because there was no room for them in the inn
And there in the same country, shepherds abiding in the field
Keeping watch over their flock by night
And lo, the Angel of the Lord came upon them
And the glory of the Lord shone round about there
And they were so afraid
And the Angel said unto them, "Fear not, but behold
I bring you good tiding of great joy which will be to all people
For unto you is born this day in the city of David
A Savior, which is Christ the Lord"
The lyrics to C.Sagan's song "Gods" describe the story of the nativity of Jesus Christ, emphasizing that he was born as God's own son. The first verse talks about the star from the East, which guided the wise men to Baby Jesus. The wise men worshipped him as the infant ruler of everything because they understood that he was the son of God. The chorus emphasizes this point again, declaring that Mary's Christmas baby is God's own son.
The second verse repeats the story of the wise men, adding a call-and-response element to the chorus, inviting listeners to join in singing. The bridge urges people to share the news of Jesus' birth with the world, just like the shepherds who heard the angels' message and spread the word. The final verse revisits the quiet moment of Jesus' birth, describing how Mary laid him in a manger because there was no room in the inn, and how the shepherds saw the angels' glory and were afraid. The angel's message of joy is repeated once more, reminding listeners that Jesus has come to bring salvation to all people.
Overall, the song is a simple retelling of the nativity story, with a joyful emphasis on Jesus being God's own son. The catchy melody and repetitive chorus make it easy to sing along and remember the key message of the song.
