What Made the Baby Cry?

JesusLapBoy.gif

There are very few songs that give me goosebumps and just give you the feeling that this artist really knew how to keen on the emotions people have during a certain time of the year. Well, this song called "What Made the Baby Cry" by Toby Keith is that type of song for me. It really makes you wonder where some of the artist and songwriters come up with the ideas. (it also just so happens that Toby Keith happens to be saved and actually believes what he is singing). The very last question at the very end of the song just brings tears to my eyes because sometimes when we get caught up in the every day life we forget the core things that make us who we are. So as we approach our Savior's birthday, I pray that each and every one of us never forget my favorite line, "He died, so that one day I might live!"

So please click on the link (above) and towards the right of the window there is the ability to play the song and if you have time please take it to listen to this song.

Below are the lyrics:

What Made The Baby Cry

On a cold night, late December
As the snow fell to earth
That's the one night, we remember
When a woman gave birth
And for miles and miles around
The baby's cry was the only sound

Did He know the world was filled with pain
Could He feel all the hunger and the shame
Or did He know about the way He would die
And the reason why
Is that what made the baby cry?
Is that what made the baby cry?

As his Mother turned to hold Him
Her face filled with joy
He grew quiet when She told Him
He was more than just her baby boy
And for miles and miles around
Her lullaby was the only sound

Did She know the world was filled with pain
Could She feel all the hunger and the shame
Or did She know about the way He would die
And the reason why
Is that what made Her baby cry?
Is that what made Her baby cry?

And as He fell asleep
She wiped away His tears
But the question still remains
Have we changed in two thousand years

Don't you know the world is still in pain
Can't you feel all the hunger and the shame
Did we forget about the way that He died
And the reason why
Would we still make the baby cry?
Would we still make the baby cry?


MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS!!!

Beautiful words that should make us stop and think of how Jesus views our lives and if we make Him cry. Nicely worded song. Mom F
