Still a favorite

Oh this song...this wonderful song...still a favorite Christmas song of mine. I cry every time I hear it , but I have to listen. It pulls me in and I play it over and over.  It IS the embodiment of Christmas...it IS a holy song. Young Mary giving birth to Baby Jesus and how she must have felt.  Laboring on the cold cobblestones...in a dirty stable.  I can't even imagine it.  He came for US in the most lowly way possible, but yet He came.  For me and for you.  I am so very thankful that He came!

LABOR OF LOVE

sang by Point of Grace

It was not a silent night

There was blood on the ground

You could hear a woman cry

In the allyways that night

On the streets of David's town.

And the stable was not clean

And the cobblestones were cold

And little Mary full of grace

With the tears upon her face

Had no mother's hand to hold.

It was a labor of pain

It was a cold sky above

But for the girl on the ground in the dark

With every beat of her beautiful heart

It was a labor of love.

Noble Joseph at her side

Callused hands and weary eyes

There were no midwives to be found

In the streets of David's town

In the middle of the night.

So he held her and he prayed

Shafts of moonlight on his face

But the baby in her womb

He was the maker of the moon

He was the Author of the faith

That could make the mountains move.

It was a labor of pain

It was a cold sky above

But for the girl on the ground in the dark

With every beat of her beautiful heart

It was a labor of love.

For little Mary full of grace

With the tears upon her face

It was a labor of love.

It was not a silent night
On the streets of David's town...
