Carol     “Jesus, Joy of the Highest Heaven”               Keith and Kristyn Getty

(A Children’s Carol) CCLI # 11156644

Jesus, joy of the highest heaven, born as a little baby under a wondrous star.

Like us, crying he takes His first breath,

Held by His mother, helpless, close to her beating heart

Jesus, laid in a lowly manger, facing a world of dangers;

Come to turn me, a stranger, into a child of God

 Jesus, King of the highest heaven, learning to take His first steps hat He might bring us life.

Like us, knowing our smiles and sorrows,

He showed the way to follow, a way that is true and right.

Jesus, take away every darkness, steady my simple footsteps,

That I might in Your goodness live as a child of God.

 Jesus, take away every darkness, steady my simple footsteps,

That I might in Your goodness live as a child of God.
