I like "What Child is This" on its own. I think it's a pretty and fairly simple song. But this version adds a cool "child of the poor" other melody with it, and becomes this beautifully complex song. And an amazing reminder that Christs came to live with the lowly, sharing in their sorrows, and knowing their hunger. He knows us, He knows our condition. And He brings new life for the world!
Helpless and hungry, lowly afraid,
Wrapped in the chill of mid-winter
Comes now among us, born into poverty's embrace,
New life for the world
Who is this who lives with the lowly, Sharing their sorrows,
Knowing their hunger?
This is Christ, revealed to the world
In the eyes of a child, a child of the poor.
