Tuesday Tunes 16: It's True!!

Imagine the wonder of being told that you were going to have a baby, who would be the son of God. And Mary believed. She didn't even have to think about it. She immediately believed. Amazing.

Imagine being told by Mary, that you were going to be the father of the son of God. That Mary was already pregnant, and not with your child. You are not married yet, although you are engaged. Back then that was like being married already. Would you run away? Joseph doesn't, even though it would be a natural reaction.

Imagine angels telling you to come to Bethlehem and see a baby, wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger. He is the Savior of the World. He has come to save you. Go and see him. And the shepherds left and went. They believed right away. They didn't hesitate.

The story is as old as time, and yet it is still as powerful and fraught with mysteries and complications. It's True! This story. It's True!! That's what this song is about.

It's True - Sara Groves (click here to listen to a clip)

In your heart you
know it’s true
though you hold no expectation
in the deepest part of you
there’s an open hesitation

but it’s true
kingdoms and crowns
a God who came down to find you
it’s true
Angels on high
sing through the night
alleluya

heard it told you
think it’s odd
the whole thing fraught with complication
the play begins with baby God
and all His blessed implications

but it’s true
kingdoms and crowns
a God who came down to find you
it’s trueAngels on high
sing through the night
alleluia

alleluia, alleluia

Oh it’s true
kingdoms and crowns
a God who came down to find you
it’s trueAngels on high
sing through the night
alleluia
