Story behind the song
It was Christmas day. My son was at his mom's and I was alone with just the radio for company. When I was a child I used to love Christmas music but that particular Christmas I thought I would lose it if I heard one more pop star cashing in on 'chessnuts roasting on an open fire.' Couldn't they at least try to come up with a new christmas song? Is it that difficult? Thats when I turned of the radio and wrote my own Christmas song. The song is narrated by my ten year old son James and is sung by myself and Musical Intervention's newest artist, Linda Tower.
Lyrics
Long before this whole business of Christmas began in an infinate celestial land an angel bowed before the Lord and wept, she said: 'How is it God, that You have forgotten me? Don't be offended Lord, but how can that be? For there's no promise that you have not kept... not yet Gabriel, Gloria 'You have angels for battle but I was not taught to fight, You have angels to watch the gates but I don't have the might, You have chiors of angels to teach the world Your song. Then there's Your gaurdians keeping man safe as can be It seems theres a purpose for everyone but me. You said I was special, have I done something wrong? Oh no.' And God said, 'Gabriel, Gloria!' 'I've chosen you to bring the world Christmas, from shepherd to king, you'll tell them all what has begun, I've chosen you to bring the world Christmas, You, you will tell the world of My Son, Gabriel, go and tell the world of My Son.'
