To a stable long ago he came
A place where you and I would be ashamed
To make our entrance into the world
No trumpets, flags left unfurled.
How could the Savior, the king
Come to earth where only angels sing
The tidings of comfort and joy
A humble place with no ploy
This is not what we’d expect
Yet even now with great effect
We try to impress others
With gifts for sister and brothers
When the only thing that truly matters
Is the selfless love that shatters
Even the coziest of places
And the hardest of faces
Because our Savior our King did come
From Heaven above with angelic anthem
To share the knowledge and truth
With men, women child and youth
Do what is just and right
Love mercy with all your might
Walk humbly with your God
And one day you will be awed
When you find yourself at His feet
30 seconds of silence when you meet
Because the love of this great man
Over the world did span
Brought life and love to you
Your sisters and brothers too
Be happy and love without malice
Drink deep from life’s chalice
Share what has been given to you
From the babe in a stable, not a statue
The greatest of gifts, one that is rife
With Love and Everlasting Life!
