Lyrics of Jesus of long ago

Sing us a song about jesus
Jesus of long ago
Sing us a song about jesus
He loves us you know.

To bethlehem came three wise men
With gold and frankincense and myrrh
The journeyed far, by guiding star
To find the king of all the world.

In a manger he was born
In a manger he was born.

Shepherds in the fields nearby
Saw the angels in the sky
And they all came down to welcome him
On that night in bethlehem.

Sing us a song about jesus
Jesus of long ago
Sing us a song about jesus
He loves us you know.

In galilee he grew to be
Healer of the sick and blind
He spoke of love in heaven above
And people came from miles to find

Jesus christ the son of god
Jesus christ the son of god.

He was a man who could be strong
Doer of good and righter of wrong
And he was gentle, kind and true
All the things that we could be too.

Sing us a song about jesus
Jesus of long ago
Sing us a song about jesus
He loves us you know.

Sing us a song about jesus
Jesus of long ago
Sing us a song about jesus
He loves us you know.

(repeat and fade).
