The Cry of a Tiny Babe

"And the message is clear if you've got ears to hear
That forgiveness is given for your guilt and your fear
It's a Christmas gift you don't have to buy
There's a future shining in a baby's eyes

Like a stone on the surface of a still river
Driving the ripples on forever
Redemption rips through the surface of time
In the cry of a tiny babe"

--Bruce Cockburn, Cry of a Tiny Babe

"Hark, now hear the angels sing, a King was born today

And man will live forvermore because of Christmas day."

--Jester Hairston, Mary's Boy Child
