More than a Child

So I learned a very magical song. It's not like any Christmas songs out there. The tune is very heartwarming and very gentle, soothing to the ears and to the mind. The lyrics are, as the composer said, about Jesus' birth in relation to the reason He came. Ever since I've heard it when we had our practice, I was like mesmerized by it so I actually searched it on YouTube and found one video with the composer singing it. Great! Tis' my favorite Christmas song already and since today is Christmas, I thought of sharing this song.

That video is Larry Holder singing More than a Child, the title of the song. Listen to it carefully and be amazed! Here are the lyrics:

More than a child born in the hay,

Jesus, my Lord, on that first Christmas day.

More than the son of a carpenter man;

You carried the weight of the world in Your hand.

For You are the Hope of my soul,

All that I see, and all that I know.

In You, there is peace in my life,

For one day You came, as angels proclaimed,

The Light of the world for us all!

More than a star shining that night,

More than the shepherds amazed by the sight,

More than three wise men with riches of gold;

You, the Messiah, the prophets foretold

Would come, bringing newness and life,

Freedom from sin, deliv'rance from strife.

In You, there is peace evermore,

For one day You came, as angels proclaimed,

The Light of the world for us all.

Yes, one day You came, as angels proclaimed,

Redeemer and Lord of us all!

Hey, Merry Christmas by the way.

Let us not forget the sole reason why we celebrate Christmas: JESUS.  As John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." Jesus was sent to us because God loves us really much and He wants us to be saved from the wrath of evil. And so He was born, in a lowly manger. And as John 1:14 says, "The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth." 

This day must not be used for enjoyment but in celebrating for God's love and for Christ's birth.

Merry Christmas once again!
