Merry Christmas!

A gift to my readers -- this is a Christmas song I've been working on. Think Bluegrass.


This Child is Coming Soon

Lay my body down
The labor pains are steady now
This Child is coming soon
I just need a quiet place
A steady voice to keep my pace
This Child is coming soon

Now we have no place to stay
No midwife to guide my way
And this Child is coming soon
Take me to the stable yon
Oh, I need to lay me down
This Child is coming soon.

Make me a bed of sweet, soft hay
The manger there will serve today
This Child is coming soon
Tear my dress to swaddlin' bands
Oh, the pain -- give me your hand
This Child is coming soon

Send the sheep out to the hills
Feed the cow to keep her still
This Child is coming soon
How I wish my mother was here
To comfort me in all my fears
This Child is coming soon

Joseph, hold me, I'm afraid
I can't do this -- I'm just a maid
This Child is coming now
Dear God, see me safely through
I lay my life down before You
This Child is coming now

(Interlude)

Feel the Glory all around
See the starlight shining down
This Child will save the world!
Little Baby in my arm
Let me keep you safe and warm
I know You'll save the world.
