THIS LITTLE CHILD
Written and Performed by Scott Wesley Brown
This is a Christian rock song that was done
back in the late 70's
and a protest regrding the state of our nation.
Although this song is 30 years old, it still speaks today I feel.
The lyrics of Verse 2 become very prophetic IMHO.
Some also consider this a Christmas-themed song as well.
(Note: I have had emails telling me
this is not a protest song. I'll leave that up to the listener.)
Verse 1
Who would of thought that long ago
So very far away,
A little child would be born
And in a manger laid?
And who would have thought this little child
Was born the King of kings,
The Son of just a carpenter
For whom the angels sing?
And who would have thought that as He grew
And with other children played
This child with whom they laughed and sang
Would die for them some day
And who would have thought this little child
Could make a blind man see,
Feed the hungry, make rich the poor
And set the sinner free?
Oh who would have thought this little child
Was who the prophets said?
Would take away the sins of man
And rise up from the dead!
[Chorus]
And I believe! And I will always sing,
"This little child is the King!"
Oh, I believe. And, I will always sing,
"This little child
He is the King of kings!"
Verse 2
Many years have come and gone
Yet this world remains the same.
Empires have been built and fallen
Only time has made a change.
Nation against nation.
Brother against brother.
Men so filled with hatred
Killing one another.
And over half the world is starving
While a banner of decency is torn.
Debating over disarmament.
Killing children before they're born.
And fools who march to win the right
To justify their sin.
Oh every nation that has fallen
Has fallen from within!
Yet in the midst of this darkness,
There is a hope, a light that burns.
This little child -the King of kings-
Some day will return!
[Chorus]
And I believe! And I will always sing,
"This little child is the King!"
Oh, I believe. And, I will always sing,
"This little child
He is the King of kings!"
Verse 3
Who would have thought this little child
Is who the prophets said
Will return to judge this world
The living and the dead?
Oh, can't you see that long ago,
So very far away,
This little child-- our only hope--
Was born a King that day!?
Note: I love Scott Wesley Brown's music! I own several of his CD's
and play them regularly.
The song on this page comes from his CD of 35 Songs (white cover).
Please do not Link to my music!
I also recommend you purchase his entire CD, as all his songs are terrific!
