lyrics

KINDNESS OF STRANGERS ©K Mazzella 2012

Little Jesus and his parents were refugees
From a cruel king came murder and danger.

So they ran for their lives in the dead of the night.
They relied on the kindness of strangers.

Oh Mary, oh Mary,
how shall you keep warm?
You’ve nothing but the
dress you are wearin’.

Here take this coat, it’s old but it’s good.
The night is too cold for wayfaring.

Joseph, Joseph, what shall you eat?
You’ve Nothing to last you the journey.
Here take this bread and sweet honey.
Good luck for your safe returning.

Little Jesus, little Jesus,
with what shall you play?

You’ve no toys or sweets to cheer you.
Here take my doll and my lollypop,
May the angels all guide and protect you.

Date PalmTree:
Where or where will you sleep my dears?
The heat of the day is so savage.
Take my date s and rest in my shade,
Away from all struggle and ravage.

Fountain:
Who’ll be there to quench your thirst?
Who will cool your fevered brow?
Lay yourself down in my healing water,
Let go, let go of your sorrow.

Birds;
Who will sing to uplift your spirit?
Who will sing you an encouraging song?
From where I fly I see your freedom coming.
Don’t fret for it won’t be long.

Boat:
Who’ll carry you to the other shore?
Who’ll carry your boat to safety?
Moon, star and tide and waves all shall bless
Mother and father and baby.

Little Jesus and his parents were refugees
From a cruel king came
murder and danger

So they ran for their lives
in the dead of the night

They relied on the kindness
of strangers.

They relied on the kindness
of strangers.
