A Holy Birth (Parody of "A Whole New World" by Brad Kane and Lea Salonga)


Might that shouldered the world
Shoved for sin He has landed
Tell me, is this the one that Yahweh
Sent and prophesied

Light to open our eyes
Came as planned by the Father
Holy Spirit took over
On a virgin – then arrives

A holy birth
A frankincense – I give to You
Oh, there’s more gifts to go
Of myrrh and gold
Don’t say from only three men

A holy birth
Was in a place you’d never knew
You followed way up here
A star that’s clear
Emmanuel – God is with me and you
(In Bethlehem – a savior’s born for you)

You were late for the sight
In his crib used for feeding
Saw some shepherds come near Him
When His angels in the sky

Proclaim His birth
(His glory to the heights)
To his own chosen ones be peace
(Poorly wrapped in a manger)

And like a showbiz star
The fame’s so far
But only for whom God will choose to see

His holy birth
(The incarnate One – Christ)
The full two natures viewed in You
(Call the woman – God-bearer)

Not mixed, but both in there
Made righteous prayers
And He shared the human burdens too

The One true Word (Who formed this world)
Humanity (And Deity)
Beheld His face
With truth and grace
And purity
