He did not come in glory when He first came to earth,
And most' the world ignored His humble birth,
But the heavens were singing in celestial harmony,
And a star guided some souls to their knees...
Those with ears to hear and eyes to see.
And the miracles followed, but the skeptics believed
They were lies spread by those who'd been deceived.
With an appetite for power, they mocked everything He said,
While the ones truly hungering He fed...
Those who hungered after righteousness He fed.
And the light that He gave
Was to lift and to save.
And the burdens that He came to bear
Are the ones we can't carry, and need to share.
I give thanks for His sweetness, I have faith in His power,
And I know He'll strive with me every hour,
For He suffered in darkness, kneeling in Gethsemane,
So the light of His love could shine on me...
So the light of His love could shine through me...
- excerpt from Arise, Shine Forth by Michael McLean,
who I am proud to call my friend and brother in Christ,
as performed in his masterpiece, The Forgotten Carols
