One Small Voice

from Mythtery Playing: A Christmas Album by Fugli

about

This song became the end piece for the cantata that I wrote a few years back. I had wanted to bridge the poetic gap between John's use of light and word with other metaphorical imagery as a summery of the christ event. Song, action, and gifts seemed appropriate. One, Two, Three in one.

A pdf of the sheet music for this piece is included in the Cantata that is a pdf download with the full album download.

lyrics

If one small voice can sing a lullaby so sweetly,
and just one voice can sing a chorus for a king,
then a thousand voices, raised in harmony together,
can achieve incredibly amazing things.

If two small hands can reach for a mother's comfort,
and two strong hands can pound a nail into a tree,
then a thousand hands, each helping one another,
can feed the hunger that will set the captive free.

He was born in humble circumstance so many years ago.
The people had waited as the prophecy foretold.
Who'd have thought a child would be the secret of God's plan...
the love of God incarnate in a man?

If three small gifts that were set before a baby
represent the gift brought from the greatest to the least,
then a thousand gifts, each one of the a treasure,
can work for justice, work for mercy, work for peace.

The word brought the beginning and will last beyond the end,
from the center of creation to creation wrapped in sin.
Bout will the people see him as the answer to their prayer,
a savior of a world trapped in despair?

If one small child can fulfill the word completely,
and can grow into the man upon the cross,
then a thousand children raising prayers of adoration,
from around the world, uniting all the nations
in a universal epidemic celebration
can tell the world how God claimed victory from loss.
