Christmas resurrected...

I've had this on my heart for a few months now. 

A few years ago I wrote a song about Mary's thoughts about God sending Jesus through her and her response was to trust him and view it as blessing even though it made life really difficult in a lot of ways. 

Technology is a fickle thing and I ended up losing the lyrics to this song. But the chorus is something I sing quite often and is probably one of the favourite things I have written in lyrics. 

Anyway I have really felt I wanted to rewrite the song, to give it verses and such again and this is the result:

I will treasure these things

I will treasure these things in my heart

I will not forget this beautiful beginning

I will treasure these things in my heart

For this child in my arms He is our Saviour

You came to me

And said that I would have a child

The Son of God

A man to see man reconciled

And my soul will magnify my God

I will rejoice for His goodness to me

I will treasure these things in my heart

I will not forget this beautiful beginning

I will treasure these things in my heart

For this child in my arms He is our Saviour

What grace is mine

It's more than I can understand

You call me blessed

I choose to follow what you've said

And my soul will magnify my God

I will rejoice for His goodness to me

I will treasure these things in my heart

I will not forget this beautiful beginning

I will treasure these things in my heart

For this child in my arms He is our Saviour

You gave me life

Now you've created life in me

Behold a son

A child who comes to set us free

And my soul will magnify my God

I will rejoice for His goodness to me

I will treasure these things in my heart

I will not forget this beautiful beginning

I will treasure these things in my heart

For this child in my arms He is our Saviour

I will treasure these things in my heart

I will not forget this beautiful beginning

I will treasure these things in my heart

For this child in my arms He is our Saviour
