UNTIL HE BRINGS ME HOME

lifeonthereef:

In light of the Christmas season, I wanted to share another one of the songs I was able to re-record this summer. This song was written in back in 2008, and I had recorded it once before with the help of my youth pastor.

I guess this re-recording could be considered the piano version of the song (again), since I did not have access to other instruments at that time. One day, I’d like to put in violin or cello (I pretend my voice was a cello sometimes…) as well as percussion and maybe even flute. 

In any case, I hoped that this song would reflect the mystery of the cross as well as the birth of Christ; I hoped that it would lead to an astounding realization that the Christmas story is far from ordinary, even though Christ was born into humble circumstances. 

Well, Merry Christmas everyone!

“When You Came Down”

Can you imagine
A star so bright, as to light the passage of kings?

Can you imagine
A darkened night, the shepherd’s fright, the sound of Heaven? 

//When you came down
Just a little baby
You forfeited your crown
Just so you could save me.//

Can you imagine
A trip so long, the angel’s song, the end of a journey?

Can you imagine
An infant’s cry, a father’s pride, a mother’s sweet smile.

It’s hard to believe
That you would love me
Enough to be slain on the cross
But humbly you came
To this earth, so you’ll reign
In my life, Servant King
Lord Jesus

And isn’t it wonderful?
Isn’t it powerful?
This gift that you have given me
Is more than I could ask for.  So much more. 

for the uplifting of your soul.
