What Are You Gonna Name Your Baby

(album: Christmasing - 1986)

What you're gonna name your little baby, Mary?
What you're gonna name your little baby, Mary?
In a little town called Bethlehem they was a little meek and humble lamb
Now what you're gonna name your little baby, Mary?

Angels appeared to Joseph in a dream, Mary
I'm gonna make your son a king, Mary
He said, fear not to take her as your wife
God's gonna make everything alright
What are you gonna name your little boy baby, Mary?

One day Moses heard Him when He called from the fire
Take off your shoes, let me take you higher
He came to the poor, He came to the lost
He's gonna reach out at any cost
What you're gonna call your little baby, Mary?

The wise men traveled from afar, Mary
They were guided by a shining star, Mary
They brought their gold, frankincense and myrrh
When the angels sang this is what they heard
"Glory to God in the highest"
Peace to all mankind, glory
This little baby born in a manger he'll give you peace of mind
Somebody call Him wonderful
Mighty God and prince of peace
Somebody call Him alpha and omega
He is my priest
Moses said he saw Him in a burning bush one day
John talked about Him
This is what He said
God gave His son
And the son gave His live
That we might have the right to the tree of life

I'm gonna call the little boy baby Jesus
Jesus, Jesus
Wanna call Him Jesus
Adam's redeemer, yes He is
And He's Gabriel's shield
He's Raphael's courage
And Ezekiel's wheel
Jesus
