"Brave Baby Tears"

VERSES:

Brave, Royal Baby, with your Star

And shining angel army choir,

You settle where our dark worlds are,

To anchor us who wander far.

 

Into your stable cave’s black night,

Your star and armies bring their light,

But never show your strongest might

Until your weeping sings us right.

 

 

CHORUS:

Come, Holy Child, wash all our years;

Our tired creation’s wounds and fears.

Then, through your cross-born song of joyful tears,

We’ll join your singing kingdom as it nears.

"Morning After Christmas"

 

"MORNING AFTER CHRISTMAS"

The Lord was making snow on Christmas night,

And served it up fresh the morning after.

He set it bright upon his earthen plate;

Upon its garnish (sprigs of western sage).

It made me smile. I ate some, and gave thanks!
