Stephanie Pauline;s Official "Born To Save" Music Video - Christian Music Videos

The song "Born to Save" is one I didn't expect to write all these years after the experience behind it, but it fell over me and left me weeping while I was in my bedroom last November. I will share the story behind the song with you...

I was 15. My world had fallen apart. My dad was an alcoholic and just a couple months before - my mom, the emotional rock of the family, left for over a year, my sister ran away, and my dad tried to take his life in the next room --I was the only one home with him. That all happened in one day's time. My world absolutely crumbled around me. So that December, there was really nowhere I felt at home in the world. I used to leave and carve out a hole in the snow beside a furnace outtake on top of a school to sleep some nights just to have some peace. Christmas that year found me walking, peering into others' windows from the sidewalk in Minneapolis, the snow crunching beneath my feet. That memory is what birthed this song.

The liner notes in my Christmas CD "More than a Story" say it this way..."This is a song for those who feel left out in the cold. Please remember that people couldn't find room even for Jesus, the Son of God Himself. His mother was sent to the barn to bear him - our King of Kings. This world can be cruel, but just because people fall and fail you doesn't mean YOU aren't precious. There is room for you here beside the manger, beside the cross. Take your place and find yourself truly home. At last."
