Over a dozen years encouraging saints around the world !! (1991-2004)

Our background MIDI is "Traveler",
written by Ralph Merrifield,
performed by Adrian V. Miller (from Canada)

This song was written when I was in high school.
The lyrics are pretty rough, but at that period in my life,
as a new believer, the song was one of my favorites...

Several New Hope Music carols & hymns, 
including this one, can be found on
"A Christmas Carol Treasury: The Hymns And Carols Of Christmas."

TRAVELER

Little baby, born in a manger
'Cause You found no room at the inn
Don't you cry 'cause I'm not a stranger
Been lookin' for You for many a year

        I've been searching so long,
        but now my journey has ended
        Yet all my traveling's been worth it
          just to see the little child

Shinin' bright, the star led me to ya
Led me 'cross the desert so far
Angels sing a sweet halleluiah
Breakin' the stillness of the night air (chorus)

I've been travelin' many a hard day
just to see the Almighty King
All I have I'll give to this new Babe,
all I have is this song that I sing (chorus 2x)
