Joy and Strength (Christian life and music)

Whenever I hear the song, "Mary, Did You Know?" I cry.  I can't help myself. The combination of the melody, the poetic lyrics, the depth of truth and meaning in the lyrics all leave me in a state of worship and weeping.  So beautiful. The other day in the grocery store, the song came over the loud speakers.  I thought to myself, "Oh know!  I am going to cry right here in the store!"   As I pushed my cart down the aisles, I worshiped the Lord in my heart.  It was so powerful and moving.  I did my best to hold back the tears, and I succeeded somewhat.  My eyes welled up but I didn't blubber like a baby!

My husband wrote this song years ago while we were living in L.A.  He is quite the gifted composer.  I only helped a bit with some of the lyrics.   I thought it would be nice for you all to hear - especially now, because it is full of such joy and is so uplifting. Enjoy!

  The Christmas season is here!  Alleluia! I love, love, love Christmas music.  I never tire of it.  I start listening to it around Thanksgiving and let it play as I sing along throughout the holidays. This song, "The Baby King," is my contribution to the world of Christmas music.  It is about the Wise Men traveling to find Jesus and in finding Him, finding exactly what they were seeking:  God Himself born as a baby.  The Baby King. There, they worshiped and adored Him. Listen and be transported back to the time of wonder, awe, and worship.  Worship the Baby King and His miraculous, world-changing birth. May this Season find you worshiping Him always and focusing on the true meaning of Christmas.
