Christmas Star

Some of my passions are writing music and playing the guitar. Please note, they are passions, but not necessarily things I am good at doing. My critics are many, beginning with my bride of going on 40 years (a little over a month away). In any case, I am sharing this little number in appreciation of the season. Feel free to use it if you find it of merit in worship. My only request is, if you do, please let me know the when and where and how it was received. It is copyrighted, so please ask me for permission before recording it (not that I expect you will find it of such value).

You see Him in the hay

To shine on Him, God’s gift of grace
