~ Bethlehem ~
'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse....'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'Tis the season for the yules of good tidings
For soon is the day in which we celebrate
The birth of Our Lord....
Whom laid in a manger beneath the smiling stars
As the Angels rejoiced from near and afar
While as the sheperds they came
And the wise men brought gifts
Of gold and myrrh, and frankincence
But the babies eyes, they just gazed into the night
As His mother Mary, she pondered such light....
For how could this be that a virgin bore child
Which Gabriel the mighty, had promised with a smile
The savior of the world, amid the fruit of her womb
To bring salvation to all, before entering His tomb....
For the baby He knew, his forth coming plight
His purpose, the promise, from His Father on high!
And 'tis the season that we soon celebrate this day
As our hearts look toward the heaven
Our souls, knowing the way....
Exchanging gifts and songs of praise
Smiles upon faces, and love unrestrained
Amid a world that is darkened
We adorn these trees that we've made
With colorful lights that glisten
And hopes of salvation, that shall never abate!
For today unto us 'A King is Born'~
Forever removing the death, by the curtain torn....
Within a small manger, amid the town Bethlehem
The eyes of an infant, and the joys of all man?
'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse
Rejoicing in the silence and knowing inside
The womb of Elizabeth....
Where John the baptist, he lept with delight!
While as the Angels proclaimed, unto all of this life
Glory unto God, and good will, before all of their eyes~
As this child named Jesus, He never cried....
This prince, the king...."The King of All Tides"
Merry Christmas unto all, and to all, a blessed night!
