More Than A Child

(Verse 1)
More than a child born in the hay,
Jesus, my Lord, on that first Christmas day.
More than the son of a carpenter man;
You carried the weight of the world in Your hand.

For You are the Hope of my soul,
All that I see, and all that I know.
In You, there is peace in my life,
For one day You came, as angels proclaimed,
The Light of the world for us all!

(flute solo)

(Verse 2)
More than a star shining that night,
More than the shepherds amazed by the sight,
More than three wise men with riches of gold;
You, the Messiah, the prophets foretold

Would come, bringing newness and life,
Freedom from sin, deliv'rance from strife.
In You, there is peace evermore,
For one day You came, as angels proclaimed,
The Light of the world for us all.

Yes, one day You came, as angels proclaimed,
Redeemer and Lord of us all!

I can't believe that there is a song so wonderful! When the music just started, I knew this would be a wonderful song! Will ad to favorites! :) Mariya 2009-04-09
This is a beautiful song. Silvia is a very good singer. It makes all know that there is at least one type of miricle in the world. Life. Without life, we would all be nothing. At least when our days are over, we'll all go to heaven and see our brothers and sisters. Before all are born we do not reliase we are in heaven waiting for that special day to come. That is my feeling for this song. Clare Maritn xxx (ClareMartin1_AT_live_DOT_co_DOT_uk) 2009-03-25
This song is so beautiful. I am older but used to do Choir Work and have not sung in a long time. I found myself spellbound. must have this sheet music to play for myself and to share with my five grandchildren - all musically inclined. I found myself singing in full voice. Praise the Lord.
