7in7 Day 2: "A Marvelous Birth"

Day 2. Song 2. Done.
I felt good about this song last night, and am not too sure this morning.
But it's a song...and it's a CHRISTMAS SONG! love christmas.

So not sure if this breaks the rules or not, but I found an old Christmas hymn that I've never heard before, so some of the lyrics came from that. Chorus, bridge & half of the 2nd verse are lyrically mine and the melody & music is mine.

Let me know what you think!
 
A Marvelous Birth
There's a song in the air
There's a star in the sky
There's a mother's deep prayer
And a baby's loud cry
And the star rains its fire
While the beautiful sing
For the manger of Bethlehem
Cradles the King

Oh Hallelujah, Oh Hallelujah
The newborn King
Has come to save the world

There's a choir of joy
There's a marvelous birth
For the virgin's sweet boy
Is the Lord of the earth
And the star rains its fire
While the beautiful sing
For the manger of Bethlehem
Cradles the King

Oh Hallelujah, Oh Hallelujah
The newborn King
Has come to save the world

This baby boy will be
Our only victory
On the cross, On the cross
Sweet Jesus You will be
Our only victory
On the cross, On the cross

Oh Hallelujah, Oh Hallelujah
The newborn King
Has come to save the world

  1. Can I tell you how much more I love these posts than Set Lists? :)

    This so makes me want to have someone force you to get on a plane and fly here so we can sing together.

    I LOVE this song. Would you be willing to send me guitar chords for it? I could probably figure it out, but if you've got them written down, that would be awesome.

    Miss you my friend.
