It was a starry night,
In a little old town.
Wrapped in swaddling clothes,
God, Himself had come down.
[Just ponder that thought of the last line... We listened to a sermon this morning, "What's so Amazing about Christmas?" This was the answer. God became human. Jesus loved us enough to come in the flesh, to die, rose again to life, so we could live with Him forever. There is no greater love. It just overwhelmes me at times at the wonder and truth of it all.
May the gift of His love be real in your heart.]
Mary now held in her arms,
A precious baby boy!
The Savior of the world,
That not even Herod could destroy.
There they were in a stable,
All tired and alone.
Yet the joy of this birth,
On their faces brightly shone.
An angel then came to shepherds,
And told them the news.
They than ran to see the baby,
Long anticipated by the Jews.
There they worshipped the baby,
The Messiah and newborn King.
They went and told the world about Him,
And oh how their hearts did sing.
Not exactly how one would picture,
A birth of the King of Kings,
Yet this was God's perfect plan,
Through His Son, salvation would bring.
