Happy Birthday Jesus (A Child's Prayer) - Burl Ives

Happy birthday, Jesus, it’s that time of year

All the lights on the trees say Christmas time is near

Another year’s behind us, you helped us make it through

So, happy birthday, Jesus, this song is just for you

We all get so hung up on material things at times it seems like we forget

What Christmas really means

It should be thanks we’re givin', that’s why I wrote this tune

Happy brithday, Jesus, this song is just for you

There’s a gift for everyone but you underneath the tree

No, it’s not much, but I hipe you like this song to you from me

Happy birthday Jesus, that’s why I wrote this tune

So, happy birthday, Jesus, my song is just for you
