My Heart is a Stable (AOV 1/147)

Anglican Sr Sandra Sears from South Australia had a couple of her songs from the eighties turn up in As One Voice. I suppose this is a children’s song but you have to applaud creativity when applied simply and Christmas is upon us so it may have a place this year.

 My heart is a stable, all lowly with animals.

My heart is a manger, all bedded with hay.

My heart is a wrapping, a mantle of swaddling bands.

My heart is a cradle where my Lord Jesus lay.

 

My heart kneels before him, my Jesus in a manger.

My heart pleads forgiveness for so mean a bed.

My heart offers incense and gold to this kingly child.

My heart lays these gifts at his feet and his head.

 

My heart is a stable he takes for his mansion.

My heart is a manger he takes for his throne.

My heart is a wrapping of thanks for his loveliness.

My heart is that cradle he takes for his home.
