This Little Child Lyrics

By Scott Wesley Brown

Lyrics

Who would have thought that long ago

So very far away

A little child would be born

And in a manger laid


And who would have thought this little child

Was born the King of Kings

The Son of just a carpenter

But for whom the angels sing


And who would have thought that as He grew

And with other children played

This child with whom they laughed and sang

Would die for them some day


And who would have thought this little child

Could make a blind man see

Feed the hungry, make rich the poor

And set the prisoner free


Oh who would have thought this little child

Was who the prophets said

Would take away the sins of man

And rise up from the dead


And I believe and I will always sing

This little child is the King

And I believe and I will always sing

This little child

He is the King of Kings


Many years have come and gone

Yet this world remains the same

Empires have been built and fallen

Only time has made a change


Nation against nation

Brother against brother

Men so filled with hatred

Still killing one another


And over half the world is starving

While our banner of decency is torn

Debating over disarmament

While killing children before they're born


And fools who march to win the right

To justify their sin

Oh every nation that has fallen

Has fallen from within


Yet in the midst of this darkness

There is a hope, a light that burns

This little child the King of Kings

Some day will return


And I believe and I will always sing

This little child is the King

And I believe and I will always sing

This little child

He is the King of Kings


Who would have thought this little child

Is who the prophets said

Will return to judge this world

The living and the dead


Oh can't you see, that long ago

So very far away

That Jesus Christ, our only hope

Was born the King that day
