Grateful
Jenene Ahia Lyrics

I see joy in her eyes as she rocks him to sleep;
While gently rocking her baby to sleep, the mother's eyes express pure joy for the gift of this child.

Whispering nurturing prayers of love in his ear.
As she whispers prayers of love, the mother wishes for her child to always feel safe and cared for.

Though the looming of Herod's great danger draws near.
Despite the threat of danger from King Herod, the mother continues to show love and care for her child.

Still the look on his face shows no signs of fear.
The baby remains peaceful and unafraid, even in the face of impending danger.

You must get up and go prompts the angle in the night.
An angel appears in a dream, urging Joseph to continue on his journey with Mary and the baby.

To the man once again in a dream.
This isn't the first dream in which an angel has appeared to Joseph.

Gods plan will be fulfilled through this blessed holy Child.
The angel reveals that God's divine plan will be accomplished through the life of this special child.

Trough this sweet Baby Boy, be the world reconciled.
The world will be healed and reconciled through this baby boy and his mission.

Star of Bethlehem, we come to worship you.
People have come to worship the star of Bethlehem, which has led them to the manger where the baby lies.

We bring gifts and we offer our praise.
Wise men have brought gifts of gold, incense, and myrrh, and join in the praise and worship of the baby.

We could never give enough to adorn your name.
Despite their generous gifts, the wise men realize that they could never give enough to adequately honor the greatness of the child.

We're just grateful oh Lord that you came.
Above all, everyone is grateful for the arrival of this special baby, and the hope and healing he brings.

Wise men came from the east on a quest to find a King;
The wise men travelled from afar, seeking to find the newborn king they had heard about.

Bringing gifts of gold, incense, and myrrh.
As a sign of their respect and reverence, the wise men brought gifts of great value.

As they lay them before him, my heart joins in cheer.
As the wise men presented their gifts to the baby, those around them felt joy and exultation.

We exult you oh Lord, and we meet with you here.
Through worship and praise, people feel connected with the divine, and find hope and strength in the presence of the holy child.

Glad you came; to the earth to restore our lives.

We're just grateful oh Lord that you came.
The final chorus reiterates the gratitude and thankfulness for the arrival of the Christ child.
