How Suddenly A Baby Cries (With Narnian Reel)

How Suddenly A Baby Cries (With Narnian Reel) - Keith & Kristyn Getty

How suddenly a baby cries and all forever change

As shepherds leave the angel song to find the holy place

Where in her young and trembling arms a virgin holds her son

And in this child of breath divine our light has finally come

She ponders how the magi kneel before Emmanuel

With gold and frankincense and myrrh Christ's sacrifice they tell

A dream would help them flee a king whose pride would cruelly destroy

As mothers weep god's mercy meets the hunger for his joy

What wonder still that Anna filled with praise should bless the lord

Her aging eyes now looking on the savior of the world

For night and day her prayers had filled the temple of our god

Her heart could tell his saving hand within this gift of love

Hear Simeon who had waited long draw near to hold the child

To speak of him who would reveal the many thoughts we hide

That hearts would rise to know his grace but many fall away

A sword would pierce his mother's soul upon redemption day

How suddenly a baby cried and all forever changed

Through history soul by soul have come to find his healing grace

He filled my troubled heart with peace with hope of endless worth

My voice will join the song of praise that tells messiah's birth

He filled my troubled heart with peace with hope of endless worth

My voice will join the song of praise that tells messiah's birth
