Charity is a big part of the holidays. It should be, because christian giving and agape love's ultimate example is Jesus. agape love: giving without expectation of return, like giving to strangers.

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.

Story behind the song
I had something like a carol stuck in my head. I went to the hymnal to try to figure what it was. I found something real close in the verse of "Angels We Have Heard On High". So, I played with it and eventually got the verse of this song. Then, I recorded it, but it seemed sort of 'Ho Hum'. While playing it back, I started layering another melody over it. This second melody reminded me of the first few notes of "Rock of Ages" [which also reminded me of 'The Flintstones' theme]. Now, I felt it was more 'Ho Ho'. I wanted to put more layers over it, so I did it with - I Heard the Bells On Christmas Day O Come, All Ye Faithful (chorus) Away In a Manger (cradle song) and others. But this was difficult, with some bad notes and slightly different chords than my song. So, I am sticking with the original verse/chorus melodies. The first verse is about the 'Angel Tree' that many churches have where people take paper ornaments with poor children's name on them, so that they can anonymously buy things for that child. The second verse is pretty obviously about the Salvation Army. I was also inspired by the Advent Conspiracy which was started at Omego Dei church in Portland.
Lyrics
Christ Was Born For Love Like This Silver bells are Ringing brightly It's the city's time to share And the brass band Play some carols And God's love is truly there Chorus: See compassion Fall like snowflakes Touching hardships Covering heartaches Christ came down to lift up Christ was born for love like this Special shoppers Full of mercy Seek to answer many needs Buying gifts and Toys for children Celebrate with angel trees (chorus) Advent candles Tell a story Of Messiah's time to come God's light shines Into the darkness All about the holy One New Chorus: See compassion Fall like snowflakes Spreading glory While the world waits Christ came down to lift up Christ was born for love like David Davis copyright 2010/2013 http://postadavisongs.50webs.com/ChristWasBornForLove.html
