HEAVEN IN MY ARMS
Composer: Carola Häggkvist
Lyrics: Carola Häggkvist
Who has lit the starlight
that shines so bright in your eyes?
Who has lit the darkness for the shepherds on this night?
Who has placed the straw crown
that sits upon your small brow?
Who has brought the wise men
to the stable, precious child?
Are you one of many more
or the one they're waiting for?
You my little child
so close to my heart
Have I given you in birth
to be the treasure of the earth?
Are you truly heaven
laying cradle in my arms?
Why the tears you're crying?
What has made you frightened?
Why do your tiny fingers
hold so tightly momma's hair?
See the dancing shadows,
feel how soft the wind blows
It's following an angel
that was only just there
|
Are you one of
many more
or the one they're waiting for?
You my little child
so close to my heart
Have I given you in birth
to be the treasure of the earth?
Are you truly heaven
laying cradle in my arms?
May you greet all others
as sisters and as brothers
And may you be received
with only love and gentleness
Wherever time may take you
I will not forsake you
Grant this mother's prayer
that your days of mirth be blessed
Are you one of many more
or the one they're waiting for?
You my little child
so close to my heart
Have I given you in birth
to be the treasure of the earth?
Are you truly heaven
laying cradle in my arms?
Who has lit the starlight
that's shining bright in your eyes?
Shining like a diamond
over little Bethlehem |
