It Wasn't His Child Lyrics - Singles - Ewing Skip

He was her man and she was his wife 

And late one winter night 

He knelt by her as she gave birth 

But it wasn't his child, it wasn't his child 

Yet still he took him as his own 

And as he watched him grow 

It brought him joy 

But it wasn't his child, it wasn't his child 

And like a father he was strong and kind and good 

And I believe he did his best 

It wasn't easy for him but he did all he could 

His son was different from the rest 

It wasn't his child, it wasn't his child 

And when the boy became a man 

He took his father's hand 

And soon the world would all know why 

It wasn't his child, it wasn't his child 

And like a father he was strong and kind and good 

And I believe he did his best 

It wasn't easy for him but he did all he could 

He grew up with his hands in wood 

And he died with his hands in wood 

He was God's child, he was God's child 

He was her man and she was his wife 

And late one night 

He knelt by her as she gave birth 

But it wasn't his child, it was God's child
