THE LORD SENT A CHILD

Someone sent me this song in an email and I liked it so much I wanted to make a webpage out of it. We often forget the importance of the weak and vulnerable. Nothing is more weak than a little child, whatever your religion is, there is something wonderful and transcendent in the message of the angel Gabriel to the virgin Mary: "You are doing the work of God by keeping and bearing and nurturing that child in you. Do not give up. Do not abort. There is a miracle in progress. A miracle called a child."

by Painter Joe Cauchi We normally think of Jesus and Mary as being white, with European features. But they were Jewish and dwelt in a land touching Europe, Africa, and Asia. In fact far closer to Africa than to Europe. Could the Holy Family have been darker complected than what our European Christianity likes to think? Hmmm ...

Wave file - please wait - Mikaila sings
The Lord Sent A Child




To hear this Mikaila actually sing this song go to: The Lord Sent A Child

He could have sent down an army of soldiers
To back up His word with a sword;
He could have called down a chorus of angels
To strike an emotional chord.
He could have left us to our own devices
A civilization on trial;
But in His infinite wisdom
The Lord sent a child.

He could have chosen a king to be father
A man rich in power and gold;
A Queen could have carried the baby,
But a story more noble was told.
The birth could have been in a palace
Surrounded by beauty and style;
But to a tiny wood stable
The Lord sent a child.

He had to find a way to make us understand
So He sent us the Truth in the form of a man;
If we can become like the children
Full of wonder and empty of hate;
Then we can be more like Jesus
And live in the light of His Grace;
His love is our greatest promise
Forgiving our sin and denial;
And in His infinite mercy
The Lord sent a child
In His infinite love
The Lord sent a child.
