Christ is born! We are blessed!

So, whether or not or not Christ was born on December 25th (probably not), whether he was born in a manger or a cave, whether there were donkeys and sheep present, His birth and life and death and resurrection are still the GREATEST story ever told! God sent Him to earth, and like it says in the song Hark the Herald Angels Sing, He was "born that man no more may die." This is amazing!

Here are the lyrics to one of my favorite songs that I love to listen to during this season. It is called One Child, and the version I know is by Natalie Grant.

The seed, it grows
and somehow becomes a life
It moves, she knows
that her baby has arrived,
She's so scared, but she's so blessed
She lays down her fear
for the hope at her breast
for she knows...

One million chains could never hold back this moment in time
One thousand dreams could never dream what this moment truly means
Heaven and earth, they cradle the infinite Joy born on this night
For it only takes one Child to forever change the world

He stands beside her,
he'd share her pain
if he only knew how
He whispers 'I love you'
as he gently strokes her brow
He's so scared, but he's so blessed
There's a thundering pride
pounding deep in his chest
For he knows...

Christ is born, we are blessed
Every knee shall bow
and every tongue shall confess
That we know...

This Baby cries
and for the first time
The world hears the voice of God weep
Mary sings a lullaby
As the Hope of the nations
gently falls asleep
She knows this is the one Child
To forever change the world.
