One Child - Natalie Grant

The seed, it grows and somehow becomes a life

It moves, she knows that her baby has arrived,

She’s so scared, but she’s so blessed

She lays down her fear for the hope at her breast for she knows…

CHORUS:

One million chains could never hold back this moment in time

One thousand dreams could never dream what this moment truly means

Heaven and earth, they cradle the infinite Joy born on this night

For it only takes one Child to forever change the world

He stands beside her, he’d share her pain if he only knew how

He whispers 'I love you' as he gently strokes her brow

He’s so scared, but he’s so blessed

There’s a thundering pride pounding deep in his chest

For he knows…

CHORUS

Christ is born, we are blessed

Every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess

That we know.

CHORUS

This Baby cries and for the first time

The world hears the voice of God weep

Mary sings a lullaby

As the Hope of the nations gently falls asleep

She knows this is the one Child

To forever change the world.
