Who Child Is This?

[Verse 1] Who child is this, who sleeps so sweet, Upon her mama’s shoulder? I just came home from doin’ time, Five years a little older. I walked right in on Christmas Eve, The lights were low, the air was peace— And in her arms, a child she keeps, A baby I ain’t seen before now… --- [Chorus] This, this is a Christmas night, Where truth comes out in soft moonlight. Hail, hail to the love I knew— But now there’s somethin’ new. --- [Verse 2] Who child is this? I softly asked, My voice a trembling whisper. She bowed her head, her eyes grew red, And held the baby closer. “Don’t walk away,” she begged me slow, “You left, but life kept movin’, you know.” The baby stirred beneath the glow, And reached for me with tiny fingers… --- [Chorus] This, this is a Christmas plea— Forgive the past, come sit with me. Bring, bring all the love you can, Be more than just a man. --- [Bridge – Soft, emotional] I felt the weight of all those years, Regret and pride and bottled tears. But somethin’ warm broke through my fear— A child don’t choose the story. --- [Verse 3] Who child is this? Well now I see, He’s part of her, and now of me. The season calls for mercy’s touch, For grace that loves this much. So place him here upon my knee, Tonight I claim responsibility. We’ll build a home from what might be— A Christmas gift of second chances… --- [Final Chorus] This, this is a holy sign— A chance to heal, a chance to bind. Peace, peace on this Christmas morn, A family reborn
