[Intro]
[Verse 1]
When He came to this world He didn t have a place to lay His head
cept an old stockyard manger where the cattle and the sheep were gettin fed
An his mama was a virgin, so Dad became the talk of the town
Sacrifices had to be made, so Mary had a little Lamb
[Verse 2]
And all the folks down in Nazareth all knew Him as Mary s little boy
And they knew him as a carpenter but Mary knew he was the only Son of God
She knew his days were numbered. One day they d put Him in the ground
Sacrifices had to be made cuz Mary had a little Lamb
[Bridge]
She loved the boy to death the same way any Mama would
She used to hold Him in her arms but now the nails just held Him to the wood
As she watched her boy die in his living it was hard to understand
But sacrifices had to be made, cuz mary had a litle Lamb
[Verse 3]
On that Resurrection mornin Mary came to say her last goodbyes
Like the day in the manger how she prayed she could hold Him one more time
See from Bethlehem to Calvary she knew her little boy was Heaven bound
But sacrifices had to be made, so Mary had a little Lamb
