I love you Lord Jesus

this child in the manger
this son of Mary
is he really the Messiah
to save all Israel
we named him Jesus, Jeshua,
God saves, for that is the promise
what the angel told us to do
for he will save his people
I pray over you now,
laying in the manger,
I love you Lord, Jesus,
my beautiful child
