CHRIST CHRISTMAS

CHRIST CHRISTMAS

By Roger Davis


Noel, new birth
That which was in heaven, now on earth
Angels harkened, the early news
Few saw the start, yet Mary knew

Her womb, His cradle
The Bethlehem trip was prenatal
The stable, an Old Testament prophesy
The Magi came from the East to see

Jesus suckling at Mary's breast
The livestock in holy rest
Shepherds summoned, arrive
While an evil king contrived

This is our Gift, hung on a cross of a tree
For us to go back to heaven, sin free
The Word became flesh and bone
Believing, and then we need not be alone

This earth is His grace wrapped
Though at times it seems a trap
Why?  Because temporarily we reside
By knowing all have died

Christ Christmas is a silent and holy night
Rejoice, for even the downtrodden will see His light
Open your gifts and teach the young
About the Baby, by the songs sung
