Not Merely a Child
A child was born one chilly night
As all the world stood still.
Heaven sang on angels' flight,
As shepherds hearts were filled.
"We bring tidings of great joy"
It rang through out the land.
"To everyone, forever,
A saviour is born in Bethlehem"...
This be truth the song we sing,
All praises to the King of kings,
And He will reign forever,
In earth and heaven above,
He arrived a child tonight,
To fill us with his peace and love.
Born of the virgin's womb,
He lay upon the straw,
While the anxious world await,
Fulfillment of their law,
His simple ways showed love divine,
And wisdom, taught as thus...
To love even our enemies,
Although they've hated us.
"Blessed are the meek", he said,
"For they shall have this earth.
And blessed are all you who weep,
You shall be filled with mirth."
He healed the sick and vexed of spirit,
Made the lame again to walk.
The blind now saw; the deaf now heard;
the silent voice began to talk.
"This be truth the song I sing,
All praises to my Lord and King
And He shall reign for ever,
In earth and heaven above...
He arrived my savior, Christ.
And filled me with his grace and love...
He loved us all so dearly,
That when we wept He also cried,
And it was because He loved,
That for our sins he died...
It was upon a cross of wood,
That he prayed "Forgive their sin"
And defeated death to rise,
And make us all alive in Him...
This be truth the song we sing,
All praises to the Risen King,
And He will reign forever,
In earth and heaven above..
He became our sacrifice,
To fill us with His power and love...
Yes, he arrived a child one night...
......God's gift of Redeeming Love.
