Here are the full lyrics to “Happy Birthday, Jesus (I’m So Sorry)” by Keith Green:

A quiet night, long ago
A stable, cold and small
A baby born in Bethlehem
The greatest gift of all But we wrapped it up in tinsel
And we topped it with a bow
We made it loud and flashy
So the world would never know Happy birthday, Jesus
I’m so sorry it’s not the way it should be
All the lights and the presents
The rushing and the noise
Have stolen the day that belongs to You Happy birthday, Jesus
This world has gone insane
We celebrate Your birthday
But we hardly know Your name
We sing about a baby
Then we live like You never came
Happy birthday, Jesus
Forgive us, in Your name Angels sang, shepherds came
Wise men brought their gold
But we give each other fruitcake
And we’re too busy to be told That You’re still the only reason
That we’re breathing here today
Yet we barely stop to thank You
Then we throw the day away Happy birthday, Jesus
I’m so sorry it’s not the way it should be
All the tinsel and the parties
The trees and the toys
Have stolen the day that belongs to You Happy birthday, Jesus
Father, help us see
It’s Your birthday we’re celebrating
Not just another Christmas tree
Happy birthday, Jesus
Happy birthday to You
