I wrote a Christmas song with the dynamic and lyrical aid of Keilan, so you know it's good. Here are the words:
Sleep, child, sleep. Sleep for tomorrow You reign.
Sleep, child, sleep. Rest O Ye beautiful Name!
My soul, my soul is saved;
My soul, my soul; by a babe!
God became a boy tonight; a boy tonight.
The Son became a sin for us; a curse for us
When God became a boy for us; a boy for us!
Jesus Christ will die! (This child)
Jesus Christ will die! (This child)
Jesus Christ will die! (This child)
Jesus Christ will die!
So many (decent) Chirstmas songs lack a key part of our celebration during Christmas. Yes, we are celebrating His birth, but why was He born to begin with? Our salvation is through His DEATH, not his birth. Therefore I chose to use a clear picture of what we really cleave to. I like the fact that the line "Jesus Christ will die" is so real. It's a bold statement, so unused. I was thinking of writing more about His ressurection, but decided that it would have to be another song. Can't wait 'till Easter!

happy easter bobby o :)
YES!! I love it Bobby. That's one thing that I feel is always missing come Christmas - it's just the beginning of the story. His birth points to His death and resurrection, which is the REAL celebration (if you ask me). I have to hear this song :)
