Miracle Child

Leave a reply 
 The young girl was praying on bended knee saying Lord I will follow wherever you lead
 With this child my family will send me away ‘til the day the baby is born.
 The young man asked why he should still love the lass when the child she carried he knew was not his
 All the world would mock her and treat her as dirt and the hurt would never return
  
 But the Angel had told them the child would be theirs that He would be special and they should not care
 How the world would respond to this miracle child 
 So they trusted in the Lord.  Yes they trusted in the Lord.
  
 CHORUS
 They called His name Jesus, Emmanuel
 Ki-ing of all kings, Lord of all
 Wonderful Savior, Prince of peace
 Emmanuel, God is wi-ith us.
  
 They followed the road down to Bethlehem where the child would be born, in a manger lay
 And they settled him down in the soft, cool hay and they prayed, giving thanks to the Lord
  
 Then kings from afar came bearing great gifts and shepherds left flocks just to kneel at His feet
 The star was so bright ‘bove the place where he lay 
 ‘Twas the birthday of the King.  The birthday of the King!
 All heaven rejoiced at the sound of His coming, on earth all was quiet and still
 The child in the manger brought peace to all men, and His message would be of good will
  
 CHORUS

 Have you heard the news?  It came out today.  
 How a child was born and in a manger lay.
 Have you seen the star shining oh so bright?  
 Right above our heads, making day of night.
 How can all this be?  What can these things mean?  
 Is it coincidence or a miracle we see?
  
 Where is this little child?   
 I hear he’s meek and mild.  
 I hear he’s come to save the world.
 How can a baby boy bring all the earth such joy? 
 Is he the King of Kings and Lord of Lords?
  
 Shepherds keep their watch In a quiet field 
 When a host of angels in the sky appear
 They sing highest praise, saying do not fear.  
 A child is born this day – he’s in a manger near
 How can all this be?  What can these things mean?  
 Is it a vision, or have we just dreamed a dream?
  
 Where is this newborn babe?  
 The angels told the way.  
 They said he’s come to bring us peace
 How can a baby boy bring all the earth such joy.  
 Is he the King of Kings and Lord of Lords?
  
 Mary lifts her head.  Joseph lifts his arms.

 Hosanna to God’s precious Holy Son

 He is the King of Kings.  He is the Lord of Lords.    Sing Emanuel to the Lord
 Sing Emanuel to the Lord.  Sing Emanuel to the Lord.  Sing Emanuel to the Lord

Meek and Mild

 She came riding on a donkey
 From many towns away 
 Ready to give birth to her first child 
 The ride she took was rugged
 The trail sometimes was steep 
 Her journey would go on for many miles
  
 Joseph walked and held the reins
 Guiding her along 
 Wishing he could ease the pain she felt
 When they reached their destination 
 Relief did fill their souls
 They sought a room to settle for the night
  
 The innkeeper did all He could
 To find for them a room 
 But a stable was the only place he had
 Mary's child was born that night
 In a manger filled with hay 
 Wrapped in rags the blessed Savior lay
  
 Meek and mild
 Mother and child
 Filled all prophecy that night 
 Angels praised
 Shepherds gazed 
 Below the star so bright
  
 Shepherds watching flocks that night 
 Were summoned by the angels
 Go and see the babe in Bethlehem 
 He us Savior Christ to all
 Peace is what He brings
 Glory be to God in the highest 
  
 As they knelt before Him
 They realized their place
 As all of history would mark this day
 Simple lowly shepherds 
 Were called to be the ones
 They were the first to bow to Him and pray 
  
 Not the rich
 Not the mighty
 Not the ones in power
 He calls us in humility
 To worship Him this hour
  
 Meek and mild
 Mother and child
 Filled all prophecy that night 
 Angels praised
 Shepherds gazed 
 Below the star so bright
