A song about the child-like faith it takes to believe the amazing truth of God coming to earth to be born as a baby. **Winner of the 2011 Songwriter Nation Christmas Quick Challenge Song-writing contest**

Inspirational Christian songs of praise/worship/encouragement/scripture in a simple, engaging, singable style.
My name is Cyndi Aarrestad, and I am a singer/songwriter, wife and mom living on a farm near a small community in Northern Saskatchewan, Canada. I am married to Dennis, and together we have raised three awesome young adults. I grew up in a Christian family where singing and music were always a part of our home. Both of my parents played multiple instruments, and all of us children learned to play several as well. We often sang at seniors homes and other special events. At about age 14 I started writing songs on the piano, and later learned the guitar which is now what I often play and compose with. Many of the songs I write are simple praise choruses and childrens songs, but I have also written numerous full-length songs with a style I would describe as a combination of praise/inspirational/country gospel. I have also written and performed many songs customized for special events, such as weddings, dedications, anniversaries, family reunions, Christmas programs, funerals, etc.. I have written over 2,400 songs, and have made 11 recordings in a friends home studio, with my latest 18 recorded at my home, as well as 3 professionally recorded ones over the past 4 years. I also had one CD recorded by the CBC for their radio show Road Records after being chosen in their contest, and I had a song chosen by a Nashville company to be featured in their demo showcase, which was made available to publishers and performers throughout North America. I have had some recent international radio exposure, including having several songs on the European Country Music charts, and an internet presence on various music sites. My latest album, "Restore", is releasing May, 2025. I post new choruses and songs on: https://www.facebook.com/CyndiAarrestadsMusicPage or https://www.facebook.com/Cyndi-Aarrestad-Scripture-Songs-To-Share-435658573172003/ as well as on my soundcloud page: https://soundcloud.com/cyndiaar On my website, www.cyndiaarrestad.ca I have all my music available as well as a blog of inspiring quotes, scriptures and articles. I believe God has given me a gift to write music, and I am looking to share these songs, wherever He opens up an opportunity. My desire is to honor & glorify Him by sharing what He has given to hopefully encourage and edify the body of Christ. Website: www.cyndiaarrestad.ca

Story behind the song
It was impressed on me how truly amazing it is that God came to earth as a baby, and how sometimes that's hard for adults to accept. It takes a child-like faith to believe something so amazing could be true!
Lyrics
It Was God Verse 1: I may only be a child, but I can still believe When Jesus came to this world, home in heaven He did leave He seemed like any ordinary baby that was born But God Himself came down to earth, in a human form Chorus: He was not (He was not), just another baby He was not (He was not), just another child It was God (it was God), wrapped up as a baby It was God (it was God), with an infant’s smile Little hands, little feet, wriggling in a manger Little voice, crying out, from a pile of hay It was God (it was God), come to earth a stranger Jesus Christ (God’s own son), born on Christmas day Verse 2: Many grown-ups say that it’s too hard to understand If God is really who He says, how could He be a man But I will choose to have a child-like faith and just believe Because it’s only with the heart, that you can truly see Chorus: He was not (He was not), just another baby He was not (He was not), just another child It was God (it was God), wrapped up as a baby It was God (it was God), with an infant’s smile Little hands, little feet, wriggling in a manger Little voice, crying out, from a pile of hay It was God (it was God), come to earth a stranger Jesus Christ (God’s own son), born on Christmas day Bridge: Christmas is a time of wonder and surprise I’ll wonder at God’s gift of love, when I realize Chorus
