If I were a lamb I would give him my fleece
To keep Him in comfort, in warmth and in peace
Then I’d sit by His manger and watch through the night
With His guardian angels til dawn’s early light

I’d perch high in the rafters if I were a bird
In a temple which harbored each echoing word
The wisdom displayed of a seasoned old man
From a child of twelve, I’d spread all through the land

If I were a fish I would offer a meal
To the world that His miracle hands would reveal
I’d lay at His feet all a fish could afford
To my Jesus, Redeemer, my Shepherd, my Lord

If I were a sinner, I’d kneel at His cross
And grapple with horrific and meaningless loss
Then I’d notice His words that would sooth and uplift
And hold deep in my heart this most meaningful gift
