It’s a little girl, in a great big world.
Living out a dream –
of Love and Happiness
lots of people all around
loving with words and compliments
One special Christmas, when we all listened
to the story of a baby
and His mother Mary
How they traveled very far to a star
Then my baby brother cried.
That’s the moment I realized, I realized
That Jesus is alive
Not just a baby in a manger
More than a story to entertain me
A picture of heaven,
born as baby, just like me.
A candle carousel flickered the fans
Christmas flannels and braided curls
A song on the piano,
the warm lights and nice smells
But now there is more to tell.
It’s not just a perfect moment
It’s a life of love,
a never ending promise
of protection and purpose
a best friend forever.
That’s the moment I realized, I realized
That Jesus is alive
He came to save me and make me
a new creation
He came to me,
to set me Free, for His eternity
O how he came to me and set me free
Now my souls alive
because that baby from the story
was more than once upon a time
and now my souls alive
because the baby named Jesus
—he died for me.
