Amen, Sister !! That's so beautiful to hear. And it's really touching to me, especially tonight- On this Christmas Eve 2020- As I just began a tradition this evening of singing this song to my kids and Grandchildren, even while we're apart -- And as long as there's technology to do so remotely, or I can be with them in the same room-- I'm going to keep singing it, Every Christmas Eve-- until I go to be With your Dad, and others like C. S. Lewis, Ravi Zacharias, John Robert Lewis and Martin Luther King Jr., and ALL the others who've left the Earth to be with the LORD Jesus, in person ! -Much Love, Because He First Loved us. (1John 4:19) > GrandPappy pHLeGm of Franklin Clan Collective Worship Music Team 🙌🙏👏

In the days before KZitem et al, I was hired to sing this song on Christmas morning at a friend's church. I was given sheet music, but I had never heard the song before. I guess they expected me to sing the white-washed version of the notes printed on the page, rather than, y'know, with any emotion, because I got reprimanded for singing "too soulful." It was a Methodist church, primarily white congregation (as am I), and all I remember is that I did it "wrong." I'd forgotten about this song until tonight, and I am so, so thankful to have found this link! This is such a moving, beautiful song, and Mahalia's rendition brought tears to my eyes.

Sweet little Jesus Boy, they made you be born in a manger. Sweet little Holy Child, didn't know who You was. Didn't know you come to save us, Lord; to take our sins away. Our eyes was blind, we couldn't see, we didn't know who You was. Long time ago, you was born. Born in a manger low, Sweet little Jesus Boy. The world treat You mean, Lord; treat me mean, too. But that's how things is down here, we didn't know t'was You. You done showed us how, we is trying. Master, You done showed us how, even when you's dying. Just seem like we can't do right, look how we treated You. But please, sir, forgive us Lord, we didn't know 'twas You. Sweet little Jesus Boy, born long time ago. Sweet little Holy Child, and we didn't know who You was....

Which by the way is my favorite version of that song. She sang from the heart and soul and really I don't think that there has been anyone quite like her since. Thank you Mahalia for sharing your incredible gift and your now singing in God's heavenly choir.

I remember my cousin, Elder George Williamson, singing this song as a young man. When he sang, It made lasting impact upon my life. It connects me with my roots. I know why America’s Religionosity along with the rest of the world 🌍 is SO off track. I had always thought that it was a so-called “Negro Spiritual” from the dark days of Jim Crow or darker yet days of Slavery until I googled it recently. Composed by Robert MacGimsey, often mistaken for a black composer who is said to have been influenced in his formative years by those who lived and worked for his parents.

@stargenemolly No the message is that even to a holy person we are cruel or blind. Jesus was a simple carpenter and then a man with no possessions. because they did not understand him they mistreated a holy man, a kind man. so we should not repeat the same mistake. don't be blind youre fellow people.

ha-hah!! Lenard I agree with your comment. Merry Christmas 2012
The subtext of this song has always been troubling. The unexamined 'family value' here is that if we'd only KNOWN that the little boy was "Jesus, Son of God", we'd have treated him fine. Sooo... if this little boy hadn't BEEN the sweet little Jesus boy and we'd treated him like dirt, that would have been okay. How is it that we still don't know that ALL little boys and girls are actually sacred. And as James Baldwin said, the devil doesn't mess with little kids... we do.
