GOD’S CHRISTMAS STORY The Christmas story’s more than just a baby in a stall; Let’s tell this story not in part; no, let us tell it all. It’s more than just a carpenter and his new virgin bride, For it’s about a special child that lay there by her side. It’s more than just some shepherds who had come there to the inn, And found the stable where He lay, the only place for Him. And it is more than three small gifts the wise men came to bring, Or of the angels in the sky who came His birth to sing. The Christmas story is a plan God had so long ago, A plan to show unending love to all who wronged Him so. A plan including everyone, though they be rich or poor, A story that through all of time would ever more endure. When we see pictures of it now, or statues in some store, I wonder if we stop to think this story is much more? I wonder if we realize the journey that they took From Nazareth to Bethlehem, be recorded in a book. A journey when expecting child, and riding on an ass, Arriving there in great distress for what would come to pass. I wonder if we think about the place they had to stay, Or that she would bring forth this child in some poor cattle’s hay? I wonder if we realize no doctor came that way To at her bedside comfort her while in her labor lay? I wonder how her husband felt assisting in the birth, Of bringing in God’s only Son to live upon the earth? We do not know what all went on, what all they had to say, But I am sure they doubted not, but did willingly obey. And when first cries came from that child, she placed on Him a kiss And called Him Jesus, yes, the name, the angel told them this. Today so many have become so busy that the time To stop, to think about this day they rarely seem to find. They mention just in passing of the story, so it seems, And all the truth behind it has become less than a dream. But if we all could just say HALT to our busy, rushing mind And think about all these events so hid in passing time, I think we’d see this tale become more special and more dear-- To think that GOD became a man! To think He was born here! To think He sacrificed so much of what we think we need! To think He’d come a lowly babe, upon a breast to feed! The Christmas story’s quite unique, and words just fail to say How much it means to all of us who’ve sinned and gone astray. But once again, let’s look at all the story great and true, To realize God’s infinite love for all beneath the blue. And let us take His gift by faith, receiving Him today, God’s Christmas story to mankind, our debt of sin to pay.
