LYRIC FOR SALE

By Rowena May

A child was born
A boy grew up
A shining star
From high above
His soul was pure
His heart was filled with love

He saw the wrong
He saw the right
He tried his best
To shine the light
Fate would mark
The path he held in sight

Then jealousy came
And threw him in chains
When jealousy came
His light was darkened
Stripped of his name
Inflicted with pain
Left out in the rain
Forever martyred

His soul embraced the lord above
He grew his wings flew with the dove
Angels gathered round and sang in chorus
They wept in orchestrated bursts
Their hearts were numb to joyous words
Then a miracle of life occurred

From up in the heavens
Came a decision
From up in the heavens
Came a reprieve
Complete salvation
For every nation
A celebration
For those who believe

A child was born
His heart was pure
A child was born
To save our world
He saw the wrong
He saw the right
He loved us all
With all his might

A child was born
A child was born
A child was born
A child was born
