It Wasn't His Child
by Michael James

Album: Closer To The Fire

He was her man, she was his wife
And late one winter night
He knelt by her as she gave birth
But it wasn't his child
It wasn't his child

Yet still he took Him as his own
And as he watched Him grow
It brought him joy, he loved that boy
But it wasn't his child
It wasn't his child

And like a father
He was strong and kind and good
And I believe he did his best
It wasn't easy for him
But he did all he could
His son was different from the rest
It wasn't his child
It wasn't his child

And soon the boy became a man
He took His father's hand
And soon the world would all know why
That it wasn't his child
It wasn't his child

And like his father
He was strong and kind and good
And I believe he did his best
It wasn't easy for him
But he did all he could
He grew up with His hands in wood
And He died with His hands in wood

He was her man, she was his wife
And late one winter night
He knelt by her as she gave birth
But it wasn't his child
He was God's child
Jesus
