Just A Kid

Well the news spread through Jerusalem,tonight a child is bornThere are shepherds fallin' to their knees,and Angels blowin' hornsBut in their golden halls the PhariseesScoffed and drank their wineThey said it's only Hebrew prophesyWe don't care and besidesHe's just a kidThat's all He isOne more pebble in the gravel,One more rumor in the rabble.How can He be king?He's just a kid.Well in no time it seemedthe world was knockin' on His doorPerforming miracles and wondersthey had never see beforeSoon the Pharisees stopped laughingThe silver sum was paidAnd near the end He knelt downin the garden and He prayed:I'm just a kidThat's all I amI'll need Your strength to see me through itIf it is Your will I'll do itBut how can I be kingI'm just a kid?Now I think about the Babyand the Man at Christmas timeOf mothers, sons and fathersand children just like mineAbout the power in unselfishness,love and sacrificeThe Gift that we were given and the price.And how the news spread through Jerusalem,tonight a child is bornThere are shepherds falling to their knees,and angels blowin' hornsI wonder how on Earth the Phariseescould scoff and drink their wineAnd say "He's only Hebrew prophesyWe don't care and besides He's just a kidThat's all He isOne more pebble in the gravelOne more rumor in the rabbleAnd how can He be king? He's just a kid"Oh how can He be king?He's just a kid.
