"All About A Baby" lyrics

"All About A Baby"

You heard the tale about Jonah and the whale
Daniel in the lion's den
You know about Moses
Ezekiel rolling his wheel up around the bend
You read the page about 40 days of rain and a little white dove
Simon, Peter catching them Galilee catfish down in the mud
Oh, but this little story ain't one of them tales of mighty men
It's all about a baby
It's all about a baby

You know Abraham, Sarah, and Samson's hair
The tale of Delilah's tongue
Goliath and Dave, how Lazarus' grave
Was empty when the fourth day come
And you read the part how the little oxcart
Pulled the ark and Aaron's rod
About Babylon, Miriam's song, and turning to a pillar of salt
Oh, but this little story ain't one of them tales of mighty men

It's all about a baby
With a mama named Mary
Rocking in a cradle talking 'bout peace and loving and sharing
It's all about a family
A bright star in Bethlehem laughing up the way on Christmas Day
And making us born again
You know the greatest story that's ever been ain't one about a mighty man
It's all about a baby
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-baby

It ain't about Eden or bringing in the sheaves
Or tearing that temple apart
Not an angel choir or King Solomon's fire
Or little David strumming the harp
It ain't about the battle of Jericho or the Red Sea exodus
It's a story 'bout a kid who looked a little bit
Like every single one of us, yes, he did

It's all about a baby
With a mama named Mary
Rockin' in a cradle talking 'bout peace and loving and sharing
It's all about a family
A bright star in Bethlehem following the way on Christmas Day
And making us born again
You know the greatest story that's ever been ain't one about a mighty man
It's all about a baby
All about a baby
It's all about a baby
