Born is the Child
I was supposed to sing a song at a Christmas party. I didn't have anything to sing so I wrote this song. Originally it had two verses. When my girls sang this song in sacrament meeting last Christmas, I wrote a third verse so that each girl could have a verse to sing, they sang the chorus together.
Born is the Child
I felt peace in the stillness
I felt calm in the night
On a hillside beyond Bethlehem.
I looked up at the heavens
I looked out at my flock
As a shepherd I watch over them.
As I glanced back up toward heaven
Angel's voices filled the night.
Chorus
Singing born in the child
Who is tender and mild
Go to Bethlehem and see
Because born is the king
And with angels you'll sing
Jesus came to earth for me.
(1st verse-you'll sing/2nd verse-I'll sing/ 3rd verse-we'll sing)
I knelt down by the manger
He looked into my eyes
An infant yet also a king.
There was something familiar
I felt warmth from his gaze.
I knew somehow he'd watch over me.
As I glanced back at that stable
Angel's voices filled my heart.
Repeat Chorus
In the wonder of Christmas
In the soft fallen snow
Are the memories of that holy birth.
In my heart I can feel Him
I know Jesus in near
And he's watching His treasures on earth.
When I think about that baby
Angel's voices fill my soul.
Repeat Chorus
