Jesus said that if His disciples weren’t testifying of Him, the very stones would cry out. As the creator of the earth, it is likely that His creations, including the very shelter where he was born, observed and rejoiced the miraculous and special day of his birth. Loved writing this with my friends Zelda Nera Hutzenbeler and Donita Dawn Heringer. I think we make a great songwriting team! Zelda’s awesome voice and Becky Willard’s amazing production skills make this a Christmas song to listen to again and again. Hope you enjoy it!
Born That Day (feat. Zelda Nera Hutzenbeler)
VERSE 1
I was the shelter for a couple
When there was no room at the inn
They looked so weary, worn and ragged
Needed to rest from where they’d been
VERSE 2
I felt something happening
And I could see she was in pain
Her husband whispered oh so gently
That everything would be okay
PRE-CHORUS
I witnessed the birth
His first day on earth
CHORUS
I didn’t know the King would be born that day
God’s own Son, who came to the world to save
To be a shelter for the broken
Answer every prophecy spoken
I didn’t know the King would be born that day
I didn’t know the King would be born that day
VERSE 3
Shepherds came to see Him
They were amazed and stood in awe
At the small baby in a manger
Carrying all the power of God
PRE-CHORUS
Angels sang His praise
Lifting up His name
