Lyrics
She was his girl
He was her boyfriend
She be his wife
Take him as 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 was full of love, love, love
Love, love, love
Love, love, is all around
When Jesus Christ was nailed to the his tree
Said: oh, Daddy-o I can see how it all soon will be
I came to she'd a little light on this darkening scene
Instead I fear I spill the blood of my children all around
The blood of our children all around
The blood of our children all around
The blood of our children all around
So the story goes, so I'm told
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 hate
Have you fill me up with love, love, love
