Have You Seen The Child

[Intro: Slow, bluesy trumpet solo over walking bass and soft piano chords] (Verse 1) Oh, the night is cold, the desert wide, We follow the star, our only guide. Through the winds that hum, through the sands that sing, We search for the child, the promised King. (Chorus) Have you seen the child, the one we seek? Born in the stillness, humble and meek. The light of the world, His love reconciles, Tell me, have you seen the child? [Instrumental interlude: Gravelly trumpet solo with deep brass chords and bass] (Verse 2) We asked the shepherds, they shook their heads, “He lies in a manger where cattle are fed.” Through the hills we climb, ‘neath the shadowed skies, Seeking the Savior with wonderin’ eyes. (Chorus) Have you seen the child, the one we seek? Born in the stillness, humble and meek. The light of the world, His love reconciles, Tell me, have you seen the child? (Verse 3) Oh, we crossed the hills, through valleys bare, The star kept shining, it led us there. At last, we found Him, in the stable still, A child of promise, the Father’s will. (Chorus) Have you seen the child, the one we seek? Born in the stillness, humble and meek. The light of the world, His love reconciles, Tell me, have you seen the child? (Bridge) [Muted brass and piano build tension before opening into full band] We carry our gifts, but they’re small in His glory, No treasure compares to His sacred story. Through trials and miles, we’ve journeyed this far, Led by the light of His heavenly star. (Final Chorus) Yes, we’ve seen the child, the one we seek, Born in the stillness, so holy, unique. The light of the world, the heavens have smiled, Now we’ve seen the Holy Child. [End Song]
