One Small Child (USA)







One small child in a land of a thousand
One small dream of a Savior tonight
One small hand reaching out to the starlight
One small city of life.

One king bringing his gold and his riches
One king ruling an army of might
One king kneeling with incense and candlelight
One King bringing us life.
See him lying, a cradle beneath him
See him smiling in the stall
See his mother praising his father
See his tiny eyelids fall.
One small light from the flame of a candle
one small light from a city of might
one small light from the stars in the endless night
one small light from a face.
See the shepherds kneeling before him
See the kings on bended knee
See his mother praising his Father
See the Blessed Infant sleep.
One small child in a land of a thousand
One small dream in a people of might
One small hand reaching out to the starlight
One small Savior of life.
