More Than A ChildBy Larry HolderCCLI Number: 3126615
I originally wrote the song in December 1987. I'd been listening to a duet by Ricky Skaggs and James Taylor called "A New Star Shining", and I was inspired soon after to write a song about Jesus' birth in relation to the reason He came. Later, I arranged the flute part so that my daughter could accompany as I played guitar and sang it as part of our church's Christmas music. I put the song online in 1997, and it has been performed as special Christmas music by folks around the world ever since. - Larry ![]() ![]() ![]()
(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!
