I can remember exactly where I was when I got the words to this song. It was the end of November, 2000, and I was sitting in traffic along Hall Johnson Road. The highways were jammed with stressed holiday shoppers. I decided to turn off the radio and just rest in the Lord as I was waiting in traffic.
It dawned on me, having been listening to Christmas music, that I had never gotten a Christmas song from the Lord. I asked Him to give me one, and the words started flooding in. The only thing I could find to write on was a McDonald's napkin.
God charged me with the idea of going to the manger and ministering to the Christ child. I told him my heart and held him in my arms. If you could do the same, what would you say?

LITTLE BABY, WHO CAME TO SAVE ME;
LET ME HOLD YOU IN MY ARMS.
YOU'LL GROW UP TO BE MY SAVIOR;
MANY TIMES KEEP ME FROM HARM.
SO LET ME HOLD YOU, BRING YOU COMFORT;
LET ME GAZE INTO YOUR EYES.
LET ME HOLD YOU TO THE HEART YOU'VE WON
AND SING YOU A SWEET LULLABY.
I WANT TO FEEL YOU BREATHE,
I WANT TO KISS YOUR FEET.
I WANT TO TOUCH YOUR FACE,
LITTLE PRINCE OF PEACE.
SO LET ME HOLD YOU, BRING YOU COMFORT.
CURL YOUR FIST AROUND MY THUMB.
LET ME ROCK YOU ON MY SHOULDER.
THE LIFE YOU CAME TO GIVE HAS JUST BEGUN.
I WANT TO FEEL YOU BREATHE
(THE VERY BREATH OF GOD)
I WANT TO KISS YOUR FEET
(OH, WHERE THEY'LL WALK FOR ME!)
I WANT TO STROKE YOUR HEAD
(THE THORNS WILL BE YOUR CROWN)
LITTLE PRINCE OF PEACE
(TO WHOM ALL WILL BOW DOWN)
LITTLE BABY, LITTLE BABY, LITTLE BABY...

Hi Connie, my precious Sister-in-Christ,
When I read your song, I thought about the wonderful songs you have written. The part I really loved, and will stay forever in my heart, was to listen to your songs and performance at the women's Bible classes at New Church. I feel the type of love and closeness we had was definitely a "God Thing."
Love you for ever!!
Jo,
We certainly had some blessed Thursday morning fellowship, didn't we?
I was thinking about that last Thursday. I miss that.
