In The Bleak Midwinter ~ Dan Fogelberg [CC] JMEagle101

*** Our prayer for the innocent victims of School Shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn. Rest In Peace. God Bless you.

* In The Bleak Midwinter (Lyrics)

In the bleak mid-winter, the frosty wind did moan
The earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone
Snow had fallen softly, snow on snow on snow
In the bleak mid-winter, oh so long ago

Our God, heaven cannot hold Him nor the earth sustain
Heaven and earth shall flee away when He comes to reign
In the bleak mid-winter a stable place sufficed
For the Lord almighty, Jesus Christ

Oh what can I give Him, woeful as I am
If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb
If I were a wiseman, oh I would do my part
Yet, what can I give Him -- I will give my heart
Oh what can I give Him -- I will give my heart
