This is my most recent composition for the Lincoln Chamber Singers.

  1. So small the stable- so dark the night-

but up in the sky shines so brilliant a light.

Follow that star and a Babe you will find

who offers salvation to all humankind.

It’s the One named Jesus – the One named Jesus –

born to bring Peace to all the world – to all the world.

2. So long expected and yet a surprise.

The shepherds can hardly believe their eyes.

They were expecting their Messiah to be

a leader of armies, a conquering King,

not the One named Jesus… born to bring peace to the world, to all the world.

3.   Born to the world as the Christmas Rose

blooming somehow in the Winter snows.

Have you ever seen such a wondrous sight

this silent, holy night?

4.  Splendidly simple, the Father’s design

revealing Himself in this marvelous sign …

Embracing the world that He longs to save

by coming to earth as a helpless Babe.

It’s the One named Jesus.  The One named Jesus.

Born to bring peace to the world …. to all the world.

 

I could not be prouder of these young men and women for singing this song so beautifully,  so sensitively.
