Lyrics
Jesus was eatin' with my brothers and my sisters, when the Pharisees arrived.
They asked him, "Why do you associate with people that we choose to hate, when it's better on our side?"
He said, "Let me tell ya somethin' 'bout the way God loves all people. People just like you."
He asked them, "what if you had many sheep, and one of them had run away, what do ya think you'd do?"
He said, "for one sheep, for one lamb, you'd leave all the others with their sisters and their brothers.
For one child, one woman, one man, I'll search beyond the children of Abraham."
That's my Jesus, the child, the son, the man, from Bethlehem.
Now suppose a woman with ten silver coins loses one, what does she do?
She'll search high and low until she finds her missing coin, a coin that might be you.
For one sheep, for one lamb, he'll leave all the others with their sisters and their brothers.
For one child, one woman, one man, he'll search beyond the children of Abraham.
That's my Jesus, the child, the son, the man, from Bethlehem.
For one sheep, for one lamb, he'd leave all of us others with our sisters and their brothers.
For me and you he ran to search beyond the children of Abraham.
That's my Jesus, the child, the son, the man.
That's my savior, the babe from Bethlehem.
