Some Children See Him
by Wihla Hutson & Alfred S. Burt 1951.
Some children see Him lily white,
the baby Jesus born this night.
Some children see Him lily white,
with tresses soft and fair.
Some children see Him bronzed and brown,
The Lord of heav'n to earth come down.
Some children see Him bronzed and brown,
with dark and heavy hair.
Some children see Him almond-eyed,
this Savior whom we kneel beside.
some children see Him almond-eyed,
with skin of yellow hue.
Some children see Him dark as they,
sweet Mary's Son to whom we pray.
Some children see him dark as they,
and, ah! they love Him, too!
The children in each different place
will see the baby Jesus' face
like theirs, but bright with heavenly grace,
and filled with holy light.
O lay aside each earthly thing
and with thy heart as offering,
come worship now the infant King.
'Tis love that's born tonight!
it just reminded me that Jesus came for everyone ... no one is outside of God's love, or more special than someone else ... we are all sinners ... and can all be saved by grace ... now that is a gift that only the foolish would refuse!

I'm still in awe of what His birth has done .. to make the world stand still to this day and remember Him.
Oh, I know... It's amazing that some people turn Him down! But then, sometimes I understand why they do--because of the way they 'see Jesus' represented by us. And when I think of *that*, I shudder. What a responsibility we have to show the world a real, loving Jesus! Thanks for sharing the song....Debra
