There are at least four other singers on YouTube, ALL of whom do a MUCH better job than this singer. I am sorry but this is a REALLY terrible voice! It sounds like a baby voice with a sore throat plus the singer is not on pitch some of the time. It is really painful to listen to.
@starshiptrooper02 What the lyrics mean is that each child may Him, as they are. Those are "earthly concerns" He loves us all and it doesn't matter what we look like or what he looks like, His love transcends that. This song is actually an anti-racist song. It is beautiful. But thank you for posting your question. It makes us listen more closely. :)
@starshiptrooper02 actually this song is completely opposite from your comment... its lyric cry out the lack of importance of race..... that race has nothing to do with god or the worship of god.
@levalpat though it does talk about the insignificance of race, it's absolutely absurd to make a claim that it has nothing to do with the worship of God. "Oh lay aside each earthly thing, and with thy heart as offering, COME WORSHIP NOW THE INFANT KING" So lets take a look at your comment in the light of that phrase: you said "It has nothing to do with... worship of God" - To consider one thing higher than all earthly things is to consider it a god. to worship such and object is to worship a god
This poem is so beautifull. This song made it heart touching. It is so peacefull, and brings such a good feeling. Thank´s God, thank you Jesus, thank you SNTR and thand you avrilthecranberries!

we have such a wealth of music in this age we are in ............ an infinite
wildflower meadow of sound ............. all the hues of an other worldy rainbow ..........

It's probably a generational thing, but anyone else notice that the lyrics of this song are kind of "racist"?
