A Very Special Birth


So long ago, in Bethlehem, in a stable filled with hay,
A newborn King 'named Jesus' was born on Christmas Day.
From the virgin Mary was this little lad conceived;
The Lamb of God, a Savior for all those who believed.

All the hosts of angels gathered 'round this King, so small,
While the wise men offered gifts to Him in His little wooden stall.
The animals were quiet as they gazed upon His face,
For, they, also, knew He was a child of God; so filled with love and grace.

The brightest star in Heaven shone down where Jesus lay
And people came, from miles around, to worship Him and pray.
They knew they'd found their Savior, sent from God upon His throne;
The one and only 'King of Kings' they had waited for, so long.

So' now, it's time to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ,
The son God sent from Heaven to give us all eternal life.
Let's remember, as we gather 'round to worship Him and pray,
That His birth is why we celebrate and it's not just another holiday.


Let's keep Christ in Christmas, and say, "Merry Christmas,"
Not "Happy Holidays".
