Had I been a child on that star-lit morn
In the quiet town where Christ was born
I'd follow the light to the humble stall
And find my way to the Lord of all
I'd bring Him my heart, my gift to share
A humble offering, simple and bare
I'd feed the sheep, keep watch through night
Just to stay close to His holy light
Had I been there, so tiny and small
I'd kneel by the manger, and gaze in awe
I'd offer a song, a whisper soft
To soothe the child in the stable loft
I'd bring Him my heart, my gift to share
A humble offering, simple and bare
I'd feed the sheep, keep watch through night
Just to stay close to His holy light
Oh, the wonder, the peace so rare
A child by the Savior, tenderly there
And though I was born far away in time
My heart reaches out at this Christmas time
I'll bring Him my heart, my gift to share
A humble offering, simple and bare
I'll feed His sheep, keep watch through night
Just to stay close to His holy light
Had I been a child in that sacred place
I'd remember the light on His tiny face
I'd kneel down beside Him and whisper low
I love you, baby Jesus, this much I know
