Debbie Hennessey: Music
It Wasn't His Child
When it was time for me to record my latest holiday song I really wanted to do something acoustic and this song immediately came to mind. It's not as well known as many other holiday songs but it has such a poignant beauty to the story. The Incredibly beautiful guitars you hear were done by Jeff Marshall who also produced the track. The song was written by Donald "Skip" Ewing. I hope you enjoy this year's holiday single! - dh

It Wasn’t His Child
(written by Donald Skip Ewing)
He Was Her Man, She Was His Wife
And Late One Winter Night,
He Knelt By Her
As She Gave Birth
But It Wasn't His Child,
It Wasn't His Child
Yet Still He Took Him As His Own
And As He Watched Him Grow,
It Brought Him Joy
He Loved That Boy
But It Wasn't His Child
It Wasn't His Child
But Like His Father He Was Strong And Kind And Good
And I Believe He Did His Best
It Wasn't Easy For Him,
But He Did All Could,
His Son Was Different From The Rest
It Wasn't His Child,
It Wasn't His Child
And When The Boy Became A Man
He Took His Father's Hand
And Soon The World
Would All Know Why
It Wasn't His Child,
It Wasn't His Child
But Like His Father He Was Strong And Kind And Good
And I Believe He Did His Best
It Wasn't Easy For Him,
But He Did All Could,
He Grew Up With His Hands In Wood
And He Died With His Hands In Wood
He Was God's Child,
He Was God's Child
He Was Her Man,
She Was His Wife
And Late One Winter Night
He Knelt By Her
As She Gave Birth
But It Wasn't His Child,
It Was God's Child
