These songs are mine, given or inspired by God, His word, and my life. I don't play an instrument, so many of these are a Capella, and very rough-- just me, a mic and the computer in my living room. I have a friend that kindly helps me put songs to music sometimes, (thanks, Matt!) so at times you may find a song with a guitar track. That is a blessing!

Story behind the song
This song came to me while viewing a picture of the Madonna and child, and thinking of the treasured way that she held the Babe, and the way we do not...
Lyrics
Hold Him Near Chorus: She held Him near, Astounded He had come to her She held Him near, Amazed that she had been the very vessel of His birth And she wondered how He could love so much someone so lowly God sent His Son--She knew His love, She held Him near. It wasn't in a pa-lace golden, not a bed of pretty silk and lace Where the King of all the universe came to show us grace A stable cold and lowly and a manger for a bed was the place the Savior chose to lay His head Chorus repeat Still He comes here to the lowly, to the one of doubtful reputation Comes to this sad universe-- brings us salvation A woman sad and lonely, her life filled with sin and strife Yet the Savior comes to her and gives her life Chorus (changed) She holds Him near, Astounded He has come to her She holds Him near, Amazed that she’s received the blessing of new birth And she wonders how He can love so much someone so lowly God sent His Son--She knows His love, She holds Him near Bridge He still comes to us today The Truth the Hope the Life the Way To our darkness He still comes to bring us Light Chorus (changed) and We hold Him near, Astounded He has come to us We hold Him near, Amazed that we’ve received the blessing of new birth And we wonder how He can love so much someone so lowly God sent His Son—We know His love, We hold Him near---Please hold Him near.
