In honor of the Christmas season I am going to try and post Christmas music favorites each Friday. How do I decide? There are too many choices!
Harry Belefonte is one of our favorite singers. We first started listening to his Christmas songs. Some of them folk songs, like Mary's Boy Child.
Our absolute favorite of Harry's is Jehovah the Lord will Provide. Unfortunately I couldn't find a video of it on YouTube. But I did find the words.
Jehovah, Hallelujah, the Lord will provide
Jehovah, Hallelujah, the Lord will provide
the birdies have a nest
But the Son of God,
He don't know where to lay His sweet head.
Jehovah, Hallelujah, the Lord will provide
Jehovah, Hallelujah, the Lord will provide
There was room at the inn
For the merchants that day,
But Joseph and Mary had no place to stay.
Jehovah, Hallelujah, the Lord will provide
Jehovah, Hallelujah, the Lord will provide
Then a star in the heavens,
The message did bring!
The tiny Babe in swaddling cloth, was Jesus the King!
Jehovah, Hallelujah, the Lord will provide
Jehovah, Hallelujah, the Lord will provide
A sweet reminder that He provided for His Son and he will provide for us.
Another of our favorites!
Good grief, I thought EVERYthing was on YouTube! :-)
ReplyDeleteYes, I like his sound too. And love "I Heard the Bells..."
