Lyrics Forest Nativity - Francis Bebey

Forest Nativity

Come into the world my child
Awake into life, my child
Life is good
You will see
Come into the world my child
All of us are here
Awaiting you
And the whole forrest will burst into applause
And leap for joy
As soon as you are born
The whole forest is expecting you
You can see the panther
Wearing his finest coat
And the lion
The king himself
Wearing a brand new mane to welcome you
Come into the world my child
Awake into life my child
Come into the world
Don’t be afraid of the wicked
We have confined the wicked into a prison of scorn, of contempt
From where they’ll never escape
The wicked will never trouble you
Or make you unhappy
Because we are here
All of us
Awaiting you
Come into the world
Awake into life, my child
Come, the whole forrest is expecting you
