Kathy, Paul and all,

I too love Mary Did You Know, differently than you Kathy I do love the
music lol. It's probably that minor key and scale I'm a sucker for lol. I
also like O Holy Night. Another song, which my daughter and I sang as a
duet for our Christmas program, and which I hadn't heard before this year
is Christmas Has It's Cradle. A great song that brings Christmas past the
cradle to where Christmas ought be celebrated. below are the Words...
another minor key Kathy lol. Anyway here's the woids.

Christmas has it's cradle
where a baby cried,
Did the lantern's shadow
show him crucified?
Did he foresee darkly,
his life's willing loss?
Christmas has it's cradle,
and Easter has it's cross

Christmas has it's cradle,
shepherds came to see.
the little son of Mary,
Lamb of God to be.
had his father warned him,
none would grant him room,
save, in the Christmas cradle,
in the Easter tomb.

Christmas has it's cradle,
wise men came to bring,
myrrh and gold and incense,
offerings for a king.
Myrrh alone stayed with him,
death's balm for this boy.
 From the Christmas cradle,
to his Easter joy.

Christmas has it's cradle,
when that baby cried,
in the Easter garden,
Christ lay crucified.
When death's power was conquered,
God's life through him poured,
Christmas has it's cradle,
and Easter has it's Lord.
