Verse 1 
On this day 
God got a mother 
Wisdom is now as simple as a baby 
God's might, a baby's weakness 
All this happened on Christmas day 

Chorus 1 
Sleep, sleep 
sleep, don't weep 
in the sweetness of your mother's arms 
Now we can say, God is one of us 

Verse 2 
There He lay in a throne of hay 
God dressed in clothes 
God with ten cold toes 
Who could have known 
that God lay here 
All this happened on Christmas day 

Chorus 2 
Sleep, sleep 
sleep, don't weep 
in the sweetness of your mother's arms 
Now we can say, God is here to stay 

Interlude 
Outside a cold wind is blowing 
Outside the census is knocking 
There are calls for a slaughter 
Don't be afraid 
He is one of us
