Poem

Fighting the weather with prayer
Inspired by faith – they’ll get there
Reaching beyond their own wants
To the heart of the hope that haunts
Reminding with wisdom that grace
Will awaken joy and peace in this place
Where they offer their lives to Him
The One who blessed them to the brim

Riding a donkey and feeling so weary
She struggled to never appear dreary
Her heart was alive with the coming life
Who kicked in her womb - sharp as a knife
Together, the two made their way past
Others who were honest and steadfast
Everyone was doing their duty to pay
The taxes that they owed in that day

Relieved to reach their final destination
Bethlehem, where God would bring elation
Here, Mary would give birth to a Son
The King of Kings, the One who had begun
To show us all the reason for our being
And give us the redemption for freeing
The souls within who needed His mercy
Settling every doubt without controversy

Glory to God in the highest – Our Savior
The One who would forgive our behavior
He came to bring life, light and lasting love
All the joy that comes from trusting God above
On this night, so many years ago, He was born
The One who would teach us to give and warn
Us of the many perils Satan has in his plans
Even though we know God has it all in His hands

One beautiful night – all those years gone by
Jesus came to bring to us a gift we can’t buy
The gift of eternal life – Him being our sacrifice
Thank God for a Savior who paid the highest price
With Him there is no reason to ever worry or fear
He comforts every sorrow and wipes away each tear
Without this man called Jesus, we would never know
The reason for the light that keeps our hearts aglow!

I’m so very thankful for the birth of this child
Who, in time, would allow us to be reconciled
