Here’s a new Christmas song I wrote last night (with a bit of help from Madeleine).

Glory To God On High
© Michael Krahn (2009)
Songs in the heavens from angels that shine
Glory to God on high
One tiny baby, the angels proclaim
That man no more may die
Born in a stable with oxen and lamb
Hear the Savior cry
Mary will comfort and Joseph will love
Now sound asleep he lies
REFRAIN
Glory to God on high
Glory to God on high
Kings come to see him, the gifts that they bring
Shine in that great starlight
Herod will seek him but he will not find
No, not on this silent night
Laid in a manger, in humble estate
Already the cross in sight
He would be willing to lay down his life
Forsaking his great might
REFRAIN
Glory to God on high
Glory to God on high
To Mary the favored did Gabriel come
And “Yes!” was her reply
And from that moment the Spirit of God
Dwelt with her inside
REFRAIN
Glory to God on high
Glory to God on high
One tiny baby, the angels proclaim
That man no more may die
Glory to God on high
