A Christmas Song

Greetings All,

I picked up a James Taylor Christmas album at 1/2 Price Books the other day and it has become one of my absolute favorite Christmas albums.  His rendition of Go Tell It on the Mountain is spectacular and the entire album has a real spiritual feel to it.  What I wanted to share with you all this morning is his song Some Children See Him.  By far it is the song that has touched my heart the most this Christmas season.  The only youtube video I could find is one someone put together for a Christmas Eve service, but the words are what matters.  Enjoy!



Some Children See Him
by James Taylor

Some children see Him lily white,

The baby Jesus born this night.
Some children see Him lily white,
With tresses soft and fair.

Some children see Him bronzed and brown,
The Lord of heav'n to earth come down.
Some children see Him bronzed and brown,
With dark and heavy hair.
Some children see Him almond-eyed,
This Savior whom we kneel beside.
Some children see Him almond-eyed,
With skin of yellow hue.

Some children see Him dark as they,
Sweet Mary's Son to whom we pray.
Some children see him dark as they,
And, ah! they love Him, too!

The children in each different place
Will see the baby Jesus' face
Like theirs, but bright with heavenly grace,
And filled with holy light.

O lay aside each earthly thing
And with thy heart as offering,
Come worship now the infant King.
'Tis love that's born tonight!

Your Brother in Christ,
Faron
