Bed of hay 04:28
Bed of Hay Light from his eyes Light from his face Light from his curly soft hair Light from his fingers Light from his toes Lighting the room as he’d glow In a bed of hay he was born In a bed of hay to the angel’s song There wasn’t a breath to be drawn In a bed of hay As the animals looked on The glowing child was born Joy in his laughter Joy in his smile Joy in his holy reverie Joy in his kisses Joy in his gaze Joy filled the room where he lay

Everychild 02:51
Everychild Everychild is a Christ Is a star Is a wonderful teacher Everychild is a dream Is a wish A gift from the Giver Everychild is a spark From the sun A heart warming healer Everychild is blessed Perfect Protected by the Protector Everychild is the most beautiful child in all the world! Everychild is unique Is complete Eyes reflecting heaven Everchild is a bird Is a song Loved by the Beloved Everychild is the hope Is the One The magical believer Everychild knows the Truth Is in a smile The message of the Messenger Everychild is the most beautiful child in all the world! Everychild is a Christ Is a star Is a wonderful teacher.

O’ Holy Light My joy is in giving O’ holy light Show me what to give On this holy night Love is a given Gift wrapped inside Show me how to give it O’ holy light With love inside And love outside With love as our guide We’ll find U O’ holy light Shine forth within us O’holy light Light up the darkness On this holy night Your love is delivered I’m wearing ur smile O’ my companion O’ holy light

The Magi & the star From the East, Magi had come Guided by the Eastern Star Mountains, oceans, deserts far Glowing- gold, blue & white They only had one goal divine To bow before the holy child The star ablaze between their eyes Glowing, gold blue & white Gold, blue & white A golden light- a ring of love A blue beyond the sky above A silver white, purer than a dove The colours of the Eastern Star (They gave) Gold in gratitude of grace Frankincense for devotion’s flame Myrrh for the sacrifice he’d make Ever glowing- gold, blue & white Gold, blue & white Gold, blue & white At their depart Mary gave to them A swaddling cloth worn by the babe Kings & queens from afar they came Drawn to the gold, blue & white They made a fire & huddled near Worshipped the cloth that was so dear Cast to the flames but it wouldn’t sear Glowing, gold blue & white Gold, blue & white Gold, blue & white Gold, blue & white

Fireworks & Fireflies All your love tonight Ever warm inside See the stars in the sky Explode in front of our eyes Fireworks & fireflies Fireworks & fireflies Fireworks & fireflies Tonight.

about

I wanted to make a spontaneous, simple, slightly raw & sparse Christmas EP that had an innocent, childlike glow to it.

It was as simple as calling up Dave (engineer) and booking him to come and record me play my little songs right here in my 'Abode'. It was a quick, stress free and no fuss recording session where the vocals are pretty much the first and only takes! Relief!

Themes of light, stars without and within, holiness, the celebration & value of childhood, innocense and of course the birth of the 'glowing' baby that started the whole season are an inspiration.
