How suddenly a baby cries and all forever change
As shepherds leave the
angel song to find this holy place,
Where in her young and trembling arms
a virgin holds her Son
And in this Child of breath divine our Light has
finally come.
She ponders how the Magi kneel before Emmanuel.
With gold and frankincense
and myrrh Christ's sacrifice they tell.
A dream would help them flee a
king whose pride would cruelly destroy.
As mothers weep God's mercy meets
the hunger for His joy.
What wonder still that Anna filled with praise should bless the Lord;
Her
aging eyes now looking on the Savior of the world.
For night and day her
prayers had filled the temple of our God.
Her heart could tell His saving
hand within this gift of love.
Hear Simeon who had waited long draw near to hold the child
To speak of
Him who would reveal the many thoughts we hide:
That hearts would rise to
know His grace but many fall away;
A sword would pierce His mother's soul
upon redemption day.
How suddenly a baby cried and all forever changed.
Through history soul by
soul have come to find His healing grace.
He filled my troubled heart with
peace, with hope of endless worth.
My voice will join the song of praise
that tells Messiah's birth.
