I played for a living for close to 20 years but got away from it for a while to raise a family. Now I'm writing songs and learning anew.
Story behind the song
The birth of Christ
Lyrics
On this night,
This starlit night,
Hold your little One tight.
Cup His face
With hands of grace,
Transform this humble place.
Tiny hands
Grasp Mother’s hand
As star light bathes the land.
Swaddle Him
Against the wind,
Embrace Him to the end . . .
Of this night,
This sacred night.
Oh, Mary,
Blessed Mary,
Gazing upon your baby,
Can you know
It’s Love you hold
As you shield Him from the cold?
Can you sense
The significance
Of His preciousness?
Can you see
The world will be
Of wicked ways set free . . .
With His life,
Born on this night?
He will bring
The world to sing,
This babe, this child, this King . . .
This tiny life
Will offer life
To all who choose to live.
It’s Christ you hold
As shepherds fold
And kings bring gifts of gold . . .
To worship Him,
To be born again,
To embrace Him to the end . . .
Of eternal life,
He gave us on this night.
Oh, Mary,
Blessed Mary,
Gazing upon your baby,
Can you know
It’s Love you hold
As you shield Him from the cold?
Can you sense
The significance
Of His preciousness?
Can you see
The world will be
Of wicked ways set free . . .
With His life,
Born on this night,
This sacred, silent night.
