Christmas King

Christmas King

Humble Feet

It was the Christmas season of 2016, and my wife and I were preparing to move overseas to join a church planting team in the Middle East. It was in that season that God inspired me to write this song. I felt like the Lord wanted me to write the age old Christmas story, but from a fresh perspective. We often read the story of Jesus’ birth as a stand alone event. It’s easy to forget that the baby Jesus in the manger is the same adult Jesus on the cross who was crucified for our sins. This song takes us from the manger, to the cross, and back again to remind us why Jesus was born in the first place.

It was also in my heart to create a poetic song that emphasized the depth of Christ’s incarnation. Jesus was both fully God and fully man! This is a mystery that our minds will never fully grasp, yet the beauty of it’s truth resounds in our hearts. The invisible God became visible. The all powerful became weak. God became a man so that we might know him and spend eternity with him forever! This is the beauty of Christmas at it’s core, the pure and simple gospel!
