Peace Child


Brad and I were invited to perform at the College of International Communication's New Years Performance (called Deeply Intoxicating Evening in English - hahaha) last Friday.

Normally we run away from performance invitations, but it being the "end" we thought we'd give it a try. We sang our favorite Christmas song with an amazing message, so at least we enjoyed ourselves. :)


Peace Child by the Normals

Take me to the place where we're children again
and we crawl on the lap of the Peace Child
Take me to the land where love is discovered
with the Prince undercover as the Peace Child

And the poor can now see how a King can believe
in a kingdom that cradles the broken

O come, o come Immanuel
and ransom captive Israel
From lonely exile here
until the Son of God appears

We look to be upright as we grasp for a chance
but we're too dirty to dance with the Peace Child
But the sunset and its red floods the world with its rays
like the blood of the Babe of the Peace Child

And the dead can now sing at the throne of the King
Cause Heaven is full of us peasants

O come, o come Immanuel
and ransom captive Israel
From lonely exile here
until the Son of God appears

Great song! After reading your blog I downloaded it and haven't stopped listening to it since. Looking forward to catching up on the phone soon! Love you, Amy the Tall!
