"I enjoy nothing more than putting scripture to music. This song was written in about 1977. I was reading the Christmas story in an old Jerusalem Bible that my Mom had given me as a young teen. I wrote the chorus and one verse. It hung around in that form until a few years ago when Jason found it and asked me to write a couple more verses. He took those pieces of song and arranged this. My thanks to my Lord, my amazing son and all the great musicians on our worship team."
