Song information
A "holiday" song I wrote (and recorded with Alf Solti) in 2006. It's a little different to most December releases, and addressed the Middle East crisis back then.
I released a re-mix in 2019, but it seemed totally relevant to re-release it in 2023, with a pretty major re-master.
Alf contributed the incredible string parts to this - we recorded a couple of songs together at the time, and I do miss working with him these days, even though he lives relatively local to me, about an hour's drive away.
Best wishes for the holiday season!

Lyrics
If God Is Love
© Neil Porter 2006

Jesus Christ was born on Christmas Day
A day in late December
Jesus was a man of peace they say
That I do remember

I’d like to see a happy Christmas
I’d love to see a peaceful year 
To see a safe and happy Christmas
A time of peace and joy and cheer

If I was a man inclined to pray
What would I be saying?
“Peace on earth forever from this day”
That’s what I’d be praying

Will we see a happy Christmas,
Or just another day of tears?
I’d really like to see this Christmas
Bring joy and hope and ease our fears

When I was young they told me “God is love”
And that he came from “up above”
I wonder what he sees up there
Sometimes he doesn’t seem to care

If Jesus Christ returned to earth today
What would he be thinking?
Would he turn his back and walk away?
Watch his land of birth just sinking

If he was coming home this Christmas
If he was coming home this year
Do you think he’d see a happy Christmas?
A time of peace and joy and cheer
