My child I will tell you a story that’s true,
A story that cannot grow old.
It’s timeless and matchless and pretty (handsome) like you,
It’s tender and yet it is bold.
Angels came down with a message of joy
To give to the whole human race.
“This you will know when you look at God’s boy
God’s love can be seen face to face!”
Chorus:
Your eyes are closing and cares will go soon.
His eyes are watching and caring for you.
The One who created the sun and the moon
Loves little children and old children, too.
His name was Jesus, Creator and Lord
He lived among men as a man.
He came as our teacher – God’s living word
As King He is coming again.
“Why did God send Him?” your question will be,
“And why did He go and not stay?”
Love is the answer – a love that is free,
A love that is still here today.
Your eyes are closing and cares will go soon.
His eyes are watching and caring for you.
The One who created the sun and the moon
Loves little children and big children, too.
