"Born To Die" lyrics

Born To Die

Shepherds gaze in wonder
While angel voices sing
This night of nights has come
And brought the world
The long-awaited King

The earth is filled with gladness
And yet the heavens weep
For heaven's eyes can see
He was born
To die for me

Jesus
Baby Jesus
Is that a tear in your eye
Jesus
Sweet baby Jesus
You must know
You were born to die

It must have broken God's heart
For the future He could see
Yet He formed the hands and feet
Knowing one day
They'd be nailed to a tree

So all the world could know it
A gift came from above
For God so loved the world
That He gave His only Son

Jesus
Baby Jesus
With a tear of love in your eye
Jesus
Sweet baby Jesus
You knew
You were born to die

So Jesus
Thank you Jesus
For your gift of eternal life
My Jesus
Jesus
Just for me
You were born to die
