She was his girl
he was her boyfriend
She be his wife
and make him her husband
A surprise on the way
any day, any day
One healthy little giggling
dribbling baby boy
The wise men came three
made their way
To shower him with love
While he lay in the hay
Shower him with love love love
Love love love
Love love is all around
Not very much of his childhood
was known
Kept his mother Mary worried
Always out on his own
He met another Mary
for a reasonable fee, less than
Reputable as known to be
His heart full of love love love
Love love love
Love love is all around
When Jesus Christ was nailed
to his tree Said
"oh, Daddy o, I can
see how it all soon will be
I came to shed a little light
on this darkening scene
Instead I fear I've spill
the blood of my children
all around"
The blood of my children
all around
The blood of my children
all around
So I'm told, so the story goes
The people he knew
were Less than golden hearted
Gamblers and robbers
Drinkers and jokers
all soul searchers
Like you and me
Rumors insisted he soon would be
For his deviations
Taken into custody
By the authorities less
informed than he
Drinkers and jokers
all soul searchers
Searching for love love love
Love love love
Love love is all around
Preparations were made
For his celebration day
He said "eat this bread
and think of it as me
Drink this wine
and dream it will be
The blood of our children
all around
The blood of our children
all around
The blood of our children
all around
Father up above
why in all this hatred
do you fill
Me up with love, love, love
Love love love
Love love's all around
Father up above
why in all this anger
do you fill
Me up with love
fill me love love love
Love love love
Love love love
And the blood of our children
all around
