An old Romanian Christmas Carol
down in bethlehem
Many genres, Contemporary Christian, Lyrics, instrumentals
I write my own songs ;) I have a very diverse taste in music, from Pop to Classical, including Rock, Folk, Jazz, Country, World Music (Celtic, Romanian), Old Timey Stringband/Bluegrass, and Latin. All these styles are in my Christian Contemporary catagory. I usually write the music first, and then put words to the music. Though I don't sing good enough yet, I though I would put my instrumentals out along with my music. Generally, I think my music/lyrics are getting better, being more skilled now than when I started.

Lyrics
Down in Bethlehem Down in Bethlehem at night Heaven burns a holy light Oh so bless-ed On this night the birth of Christ Born in a cow's feeding trough On the Roman emperor's watch Oh so bless-ed The baby cries very soft No baby clothes, we have none Nothing to dress or put on Oh so bless-ed Scraps covered the Ruler's Son Bridge/verse: "Cry no more", the mother said. [For we're wrapped up in Him instead] Oh so bless-ed The holy baby's wrap is spread Heaven's wrapped in holy light Love clothes a beautiful sight Oh so bless-ed For the bridegroom, Jesus Christ *(optional verse) [In a manger He was born] [King of Kings and Lord of Lords] [Oh so bless-ed] [Weeping now but joy's in store] *(optional verse) [We bow down to You today] [Our hearts to You, we'll display] [bless-ed Jesus] [Christ will come again to stay] copyright 2005 David Davis [and Corneliu Docea] http://www.postadavis.50webs.com/DownInBethlehem.html
