about

Our song prompt this week was a picture of some religiously-inspired graffiti that adorned all sides of a small white building - graffiti being of the “Jesus is coming for you, fear God” variety. We were asked to write a song from the perspective of the guy behind it. Rather than try to get into their head as currently constructed, I imagined what they might have to say if they’d had a revelation of sorts - on Christmas, nonetheless. I’m a pastor so this is the kind of stuff I think about. In addition to the photo, the tune is also inspired by the poem “Shepherd” by Lisa Debney. Artwork is “Mother and Baby” by Fanny Diaz. Whatever your creed may be, I hope your holidays are filled with joy, peace and love.

lyrics

I used to have the hardest time making sense of big things
I thought it was only for the prophets and the kings
Big words on buildings to see
It took me a little while but I've come to believe
It's not what we write on the walls
Instead it is big made small

I used to think that God was just a God up in the clouds
Out of touch with what is happening in the here and now
But now I can pick him up and hold him close to me
Laugh and talk nonsense to this tiny thing
It's a baby after all
Share my life with big made small

Funny how even now this smallness seems to be
Bigger than it's ever been at any point for me
So I’ll keep holding you in my arms and know
That you are still holding me in yours
And once and for all
What we made big, you made small
