About This Song: (Lyrics below)
Here’s another one of my “Alternative Christmas” songs… It’s actually based on a short story I wrote a long time ago which imagines what it might be like if the Christmas story actually happened NOW… in a run down Motel like the one I stayed at recently in a small southern town… not YOUR small southern town, the NEXT one over from yours… LOL.

Emmanuel
Song # 461 | 12/23/2012 | CD Home Across The Sea
Early morning baby busy borning
God is with us… Emmanuel
Just your average Joe and Mary
High School Sweethearts, ordinary
In a time of dreams and miracles
Ancient prophecies fulfilled…
Refrain:
Emmanuel, Emmanuel (X2)
Trailer trash to the powers that be
Something else to you and me
Spark of Light through Eternity
Grace of Love to set us free
Refrain:
He never went to any college
Spoke from some vast inner knowledge
Breath of hope for a weary earth
New Star Rising marks his birth
Refrain:
Early morning baby busy borning
God is with us… Emmanuel
