Heavens Child

So, I know, I know, I've been slack and i haven't updated in months... What can i say, life is busy here! It is two short weeks until I visit home, and I am completely psyched to see everyone! This week, we have our school Christmas production. It is looking very cute, and many people have poured their hearts into the preparation. We started with a large number of songs in the productions, but one by one, they got culled and replaced with more appropriate songs. Well, a few weeks ago, it was decided that we needed a song for when the Wise Men make an appearance (and no, We Three Kings was not an option!). Thus it was, someone raised my hand to write something that would suit. I'm not saying it's fabulous (in fact, anything but!), however, here it is, one of the songs in our Christmas production. Written by me :)


Heavens Child

Wise men from afar
Followed a shining star
It led them to Heavens child
Whispers from the East
Bringing gifts that were far from least
To worship the baby mild

Unto bethlehem
Is born a boy child
Worthy of a throne
In a bed of hay
Where the cattle lay
King of all nations

Wise men from afar
Followed a shining star
It led them to Heavens Child


Well, there it is! It is being performed by two students, one of whom is in my class. They sound like angels! It is so surreal to hear something I've written, being sung by other people! It is such an honour, and it has given me inspiration to start composing again :) I'll keep you updated on the creative front!

All my love,
