When the Child Wakes When the child wakes and dawn breaks, as we welcome the morn, then our eyes will be opened to a world that's reborn; to a joyful tomorrow and a future that's clear - when we live in the Christ-light, free from hate, free from fear. See how humble the stable, disregarded, ignored. Yet from lowly beginnings comes a Saviour and Lord. Did the magi or shepherds grasp the sight they beheld when the low were exalted and the powerful felled? When the times need a vision, when the hour cries for hope, we will nurture compassion and our world grows in scope. For the Lamb will be Shepherd as Good News is proclaimed: when we give of ourselves, then we'll see God's love sustained. Text © Allan Baer, 2007 290 Indian Rd.
