I see a baby in a manger, Could this really be my God? Would He put on human flesh, And come to live on our sod? Angels sang His glory, And promised peace to us; They were the only ones, Who made a big fuss. The shepherds were in awe, As the angel announced the news; They rushed toward Bethlehem, What did they have to lose? Wise men came from afar, They traveled from the East; Precious gifts they brought the King, Even though He seemed the least. Mary pondered all these things, She wondered as she sighed; One thing she did not know Was her Son came to die. As we celebrate this Christmas, And the One who gave us reason; Let's not forget His grace And the blessed Easter season. Sandra S. Oidtman - 2017
