Amen: See The Baby!!!


The chorus to this song came to my mind several times today.  When I looked it up, I saw that there were actually verses to this song. 


Evidently, this song is very popular and has been sung by many people including Harry Belafonte, who recorded it in 1963.


However, I was even more impressed to realize that the verses to this song were about Mary’s Baby, Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.


And so, here are the words to Amen.



Chorus
Amen, amen, amen, amen, amen.
Sing it over
Amen, amen, amen, amen, amen.


Verse 1
See the little baby, amen
Lyin' in a manger, amen
On Christmas morning,
Amen, amen, amen.
Halleluiah!


Verse 2
See Him in the temple, amen
Talking with the elders, amen
Who marveled at His wisdom,
Amen, amen, amen.
Halleluiah!


Verse 3

See Him at the Jordan, amen,
Where John was baptizin', amen,
And savin' all sinners,
Amen, amen, amen.
Halleluiah!


Verse 4
See Him by the seaside, amen,
Talkin' to the fishermen, amen,
And makin' them disciples,
Amen, amen, amen.
Halleluiah!


Verse 5
Marchin to Jerusalem, amen,
Over palm branches, amen,
In pomp and splendor,
Amen, amen, amen.
Halleluiah!


Verse 6

See Him in the garden, amen,
Prayin' to His Father, amen,
In deepest sorrow,
Amen, amen, amen.
Halleluiah!


Verse 7
Led before Pilate, amen,
Then they crucified Him, amen,
But He rose on Easter,
Amen, amen, amen.
Halleluiah!


Verse 8
Halleluiah!, amen
He died to save us, amen
But He lives forever!
Amen, amen, amen
Halleluiah!


Amen, amen, amen, amen, amen.
Halleluiah!
Amen, amen, amen, amen, amen.


Amen, amen, amen, amen, amen.
Halleluiah!
Amen, amen, amen, amen, amen.
