l A Strange Way to Save the WorldRussell
Mauldin. "Why me? I'm just a simple man of
trade. Why me, with all the rulers in the world?
Why here? Inside this stable filled with hay? Why
her? She's just an ordinary girl. Now I'm not one
to second guess what angels have to say, but
this is such a strange way, to save the world."
Originally performed by 4HIM, this lovely anthem
has been recorded by many artists but retains a
fresh and beautiful sense of wonder about the
precious gift of Jesus. Including What Child Is
This?, this selection would be a delightful addition
to any Christmas program.
