Years ago, I wrote a song for Jesus- A Christmas Lullaby. Back when I used to teach music, I would pick one voice student to sing it for my annual Christmas recital. Every Christmas season this song was performed by a precious child’s innocent and beautiful voice. It’s one of my favorites, and I thought I would share it with you.
This time, my own children’s voices are gifting us all with my song, and let me tell you- this was nothing short of a Christmas miracle getting them to both sing and make it through the song without laughing, crying, yelling, messing up, falling asleep, or talking. This was about the 43rd take. Just sayin’.
A Song For Baby Jesus
A Christmas Lullaby.
Sweet Baby Jesus
Lying in the hay
Close your eyes and don’t you cry
I’ll sing to you this lullaby…
Sweet Baby Jesus
We’ll glorify your name
Soon you’ll grow and come to know
Our fallen world, our pain.
For you, Baby Jesus
From the grace of God you’ll be
Our savior our redeemer
For all the world to see.
And as we grow to know you
Your Loving Light we’ll need
You’ll save our souls as God foretold
His plan will come to be.
Ha…llelu…

HA…LLELU….
HALLE….
LUJAH!!!
Sweet Baby Jesus
This lullaby’s for you…
To praise your name
Rejoice again
God’s greatest gift…
Is you.
May you feel the love and the unending grace of Jesus, this Christmas and in the coming year.
Merry Christmas and God bless you all!
