I wonder as I wander out under the sky, 
 How Jesus the Savior did come for to die. 
For poor on’ry people like you and like I…
 I wonder as I wander out under the sky. When Mary birthed Jesus ’twas in a cow’s stall, 
With wise men and farmers and shepherds and all.
 But high from God’s heaven a star’s light did fall,
 And the promise of ages it then did recall. If Jesus had wanted for any wee thing, A star in the sky, or a bird on the wing, 
Or all of God’s angels in heav’n for to sing, 
He surely could have it, ’cause he was the King.
2.
Lo! how a rose e'er blooming From tender stem hath sprung! Of Jesse's lineage coming As men of old have sung. It came, a floweret bright, Amid the cold of winter, When half-spent was the night. Isaiah 'twas fore-told it, The rose I have in mind; With Mary we behold it, The virgin mother kind. To show God's love aright She bore to men a Savior,
 When half-spent was the night. This flower, whose fragrance tender With sweetness fills the air, Dispels with glorious splendor The darkness everywhere. True man, yet very God, From sin and death He saves us, And lightens every load.

Hope is Here 03:26
Close to home, pain and need, Power plays, crime and greed. But what we have is so much more; Our hurting world He will restore. Look further still, fear and death, Suffering, nothing left. But what we have is so much more; Our hurting world He will restore. Hope is here Love's come down It's Christmastime Spread the joy around Friends and foes, now unite; Reconcile, behold the light. For what we have is so much more; Our hurting world He will restore. Hope is here Love's come down It's Christmastime Spread the joy around

about

Recorded for family and friends in December of 2011, this album was made in our apartment in Capitol Hill, Seattle. It was conceived amidst our five-month-old baby Julian napping and our dog Lucy roaming about her domain. The recording is mostly live, done in haste, with a couple of additions (banjo, jingle bells, extra vox). If you hear the creaks of our wood floors, imagine they are a crackling fire. Enjoy the taxis and fedex trucks passing by as all part of the "hustle and bustle" of the season. This was all made possible by amateur knowledge of Garage Band and two mics from church. Thanks for listening! May the peace of Christ be with you.

Love,

alldredge fam
