One Small Child

One small child in a land of a thousand
One small dream of a Savior tonight
One small hand reaching out to the starlight
One small Savior of life

One king bringing his gold and riches
One king ruling an army of might
One king kneeling with incense and canglelight
One king bringing us life

See Him lying a cradle beneath Him
See Him smiling in the stall
See His mother praising His Father
See His tiny eyelids fall

See the shepherds kneeling before Him
See the kings on bended knee
Oh, See the mother praising the Father
See the Blessed infant sleep.

One small child in a land of a thousand
One small dream of a Savior tonight
One small hand reaching out to the starlight
One small Savior of life

Ooo ... Oh ... Oh ... Oh ...
(Repeat to end twice):
One small child Oh ...
One small child Oh ...

I sang this song in church when I was only 5 or 6 and ever since then it has had special meaning to me.  Its always there in the back of my mind, probably because I had to work so hard to memorize it all those years ago as a little kid.  I like the sound of the song, and I  recently read somewhere that the author was only 14 when he wrote it, which is pretty impressive.  I still enjoy singing this song even after all these years and I wish that it was played more often during the Christmas season.   Many Christmas songs I enjoy without really having any memories attached to them, but One Small Child does have memories from years past, and I think I like it all the more because of those memories.
