December 14, 2010

This child that the city of Bethlehem did not pay attention to or welcome, was Heaven's Child.  The Martins, another southern gospel group sang about this child.  He was announced by angels to the lowest class of people, shepherds.  He was soon hunted down by King Herod and worshiped by wisemen from afar.  But still, he was a present to mankind, a gift to all who will receive him.  He is the gift that keeps on giving.  I love the line in this that talks about how God must have been joyful and sad all at the same time because of Jesus. 

Heaven's Child
Words and music by Joel Lindsey
Sung by The Martins

She rocked her tiny baby to warm Him from the cold
Hardly what she pictured in the prophecies of old
It seemed almost impossible to think it could be true
But as she pondered in her heart, she knew

This was heaven's child
This was heaven's child
In an earthen stable
Wrapped in glory, meek and mild
Joseph wept with wonder, as Mary sweetly smiled
Because they knew
This was heaven's child.

The angels must have missed Him as they sang Him to sleep
But they marveled at the promises the baby came to keep.
His Father must have felt at once, great sadness and great joy
As he watched His little baby boy

This was heaven's child
This was heaven's child
In an earthen stable
Wrapped in glory, meek and mild
Jospeh wept with wonder, as Mary sweetly smiled
Because they knew this was heaven's child

Mary's little baby boy, was Joseph's pride and joy
Still they wished the world would see
He was so much more

He was heaven's child
He was heaven's child
In an earthen stable
Wrapped in glory, meek and mild
Joseph wept with wonder, as Mary sweetly smiled
Because they knew
This was heaven's child.
