God's Child in the City
Parody of "Hot Child in the City" performed by Nick Gilder
and written by Nick Gilder & James McCulloch
(Micah 5:2, Isaiah 7:14, 9:1-7)
Savior in a place that some reviled
Manger with the black sheep – a holy Child
No one knows who He is – He's not yet famous
Micah shows where He came from – so does Isaiah
God's Child in the city
God's Child in the city
On the world He looked in pity
And brought His Child to the city
Too young to be rulin' on a throne
Envoys -- they all want to make Him known
When He comes down now, the Boy's not stoppin' there
When He grows up now, you watch Christ and get prepared, yeah
God's Child in the city
God's Child in the city
What a wild-lookin' nativity (Yeah)
God's child in the city
LEAD
Come on down to find this Baby
The Child that God loves
Come on now to Christ this moment
He'll save us
God's Child in the city
God's Child in the city (He's kinda dangerous)
God's Child in the city (Young Child)
Luke 2:1 through Luke 2:20 (Young Child, comin' down)
God's Child in the city (God's Child in the City)
God's Child in the city (God's Child in the City)
God's Child in the city (God's Child in the City)
God's Child in the city (God's Child in the City)
God's Child in the city
