What the birth of One Child would mean.
MMissary - a husband and wife team. More Country to Country Rock/Light Pop. We Are ALL A WORK IN PROGRESS.
Marty and Marcella equal MMissary. More songwriters and musicians than performers who wish to share their songs and music. Christian Songwriting is our main focus though Marty does do
instrumental arrangements. Marty is a former Administrator for the Christian Songwriting Org and has written articles for the Christian Magazine "Songwriting The Journal". Marty has and does collaborate with other songwriters. Marty has spoken at songwriting workshops. Marty is also a retired Music Director and still participates in his church choir.
Imperfect as we are we receive good comments and have seen some usage of our works by others. After all.."We are all a work in progress".
Story behind the song
To say something about the birth of the One who would mean much and do much for all of us.

One Child, Son of Man
Vs1: One Child, sent from above
One Child, the gift of love
One Child, bright as a star
One Child, wise men from far
Vs2: One Child, Mary's delight
One Child, born this one night
One Child, filled with God's grace
One Child, God's earthly face
Ch: One Child, sent to give us life
One Child, destined to die
One Child, destined to rise
One Child, in whom our destiny lies
Vs3: One Child, carpenter's son
One Child, His work begun
One Child, many would learn
One Child, many would yearn

One Child, His deeds would show
One Child, God's healing hand
One Child, filling God's plan
Chorus
Vs5: One Child, the cross He bore
One Child, the scars he wore
One Child, to end life's strife
One Child, his death gave life

One Child, we all should know
Ond Child, our lives must show
Chorus
Ending: One Child (at end of chorus)
