Christ Is Born
Bill & Gloria Gaither Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Soft as the dawn
Into the light
This child
Innocent child
Soft as a fawn
This child is born
One pair of eyes
One work of art
Here in my arms
Here he lies
Trusting and warm
Blessed this morn
A child is born
One small heart
One pair of eyes
One work of art
Here in my arms
Here he lies
Trusting and warm
Blessed this morn
A child is born
The first stanza of Bill & Gloria Gaither's song "Christ Is Born" captures the essence of the miraculous birth of Jesus Christ as a symbol of hope, love, and new beginnings. The lyrics suggest the dawn of a new era as the child is born, bringing light to the darkness of the night. The use of gentle, peaceful, and soft imagery in the lyrics suggests the calmness and serenity that come with the arrival of the newborn. The hymn also uses the image of a fawn, which is a symbol of innocence, purity, and vulnerability. The lyrics suggest that the birth of Jesus brought a sense of innocence and purity to the world which had been lost.
The second stanza of the song focuses on the intimacy and tenderness of the relationship between a mother and her child. The lyrics paint a picture of a mother holding her newborn child and experiencing the unconditional love, trust, and warmth that come with it. The song concludes with the repetition of the phrase "a Child is born", which is a reminder of the significance of the birth of Jesus Christ and the hope and joy that this event brings.

For all those asking, here is the lyrics! 🙂
Verse 1:
Sin had separated man’s communion with God, longing for the Messiah to come
But in just one evening things would change forever more, with the announcement from angels above
Chorus:
Christ is born
Let all the world proclaim
Christ is born
Things will never be the same
God is here
To bring peace to everyone
Joy is here and lives on
For Christ is born
Verse 2:
The world was looking for a King to be born, but born in gold, power, and in might
He was poor in his surroundings, but rich in majesty
Follow the star and you will see
Chorus:
Christ is born
Let all the world proclaim
Christ is born
Things will never be the same
