Story behind the song
"Some Children See Him" A Christmas carol by Alfred Shaddick Burt (April 22, 1920 February 6, 1954) Music by Wihla Hutson with Lyrics by Alfred Burt Hollis Music Inc. BMI (1951) Wihla Hutson died March 24, 2002 in Southfield, Michigan, just a few days short of her 101st birthday. The simple but moving lyric of this carol affirmed that children of any nationality could imagine Jesus to be like them, with the underlying message that love is more important than any claim of race or nationality.
Lyrics
Some children see Him lily white, the baby Jesus born this night. Some children see Him lily white, with tresses soft and fair. Some children see Him bronzed and brown, The Lord of heav'n to earth come down. Some children see Him bronzed and brown, with dark and heavy hair. Some children see Him almond-eyed, this Savior whom we kneel beside. some children see Him almond-eyed, with skin of yellow hue. Some children see Him dark as they, sweet Mary's Son to whom we pray. Some children see him dark as they, and, ah! they love Him, too! The children in each different place will see the baby Jesus' face like theirs, but bright with heavenly grace, and filled with holy light. O lay aside each earthly thing and with thy heart as offering, come worship now the infant King. 'Tis love that's born tonight!

Michael, you-da-man! There is the Maestro in visual singularity. Peel back his many layers to discover a marvelously talented and muti-dimensional musical master. Just awesome stuff.
