God's Child in the City
Parody of "Hot Child in the City" by Nick Gilder
(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

Luke 2:11
"for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is
Christ the Lord."
