Poem for Christmas Day...December 25, 2020

 

While all the world was sleeping,

Our Father in Heaven above,

Sent down His Son, Emmanuel,

His greatest gift of love.

 

While all the world was sleeping,

Busy with Christmas cheer,

The angels in heaven said goodbye

To the one they held so dear.

 

The Holy Child of Christmas came,

To be born in a cattle stall;

With just one purpose in His life....

To be the sacrifice for ALL.

 

To once again restore mankind

To a life, holy and renewed...

Is why the little babe was born

and why He died for you.

 

So in a year filled with many sorrows;

With hatred dwelling in many hearts...

This should be the Christmas  we

Choose to make a brand new start!

 

To live not for our selfish gain

But to live in heavenly peace;

To know the Father sent to us

A way of sweet release....

 

For when we invite the Christ child in

With a heart that to Him is given;

We will know the Father's love

For our sins have been forgiven.

 

Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday to the

BABE IN THE STRAW...WHO CAME FOR ALL!!!
