This little Lamb is not like me
Though I’m as precious as can be
Baby Jesus tiny small
He came to redeem them all
So when you hear this baa I sing
Know this is my offering
Listen Jesus I am here
Glad to sing my song so clear
Baa baa Baby Jesus baa baa baa
Baa baa Baby Jesus baa baa baa
This is our very fav’rite day
All the cows are here to say
Baby Jesus oh so dear
We’re glad You are fin’lly here
So when you hear this moo I sing
Know this is my offering
Listen Jesus I am here
Glad to sing my song so clear
Moo moo Baby Jesus moo moo moo
Moo moo Baby Jesus moo moo moo
This moment’s big as you can see
All the donkeys will agree
Baby Jesus wrapped so tight
What a very precious sight
So when you hear me pray and sing
Know this is my offering
Listen Jesus I am here
Glad to sing my song so clear
Hee-haw Baby Jesus hee-hee-haw
Hee-haw Baby Jesus hee-hee-haw
This lullaby of love
We creatures give the Baby King
Song Meaning
This playful Christmas lullaby imagines a lamb, cows, and donkeys welcoming baby Jesus with their own sounds. The animals offer a simple song of love to the child called their King and Redeemer.
Biblical Message
Luke 2:7 describes Jesus laid in a manger, and Luke 2:10–11 announces the Savior’s birth. The speaking animals are a creative device in the song, not a claim made by the Gospel accounts.
Reflection
Children can join the animals’ joy by offering what they have, even a small song. Christmas worship begins with gratitude for Jesus rather than an impressive performance.
