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.
