Curtis Moorman Poet Rhyme

A Child Is Born

A CHILD IS BORN


Once upon a time, long, long ago
In a far away land
A star shone bright throughout the night
Its light was truly grand

Men in fields were watching sheep
They marveled at this sight
The Glory of God shone round about
And filled them all with fright

Suddenly, the angels came
And said, be not afraid
For unto you a King is born
Go see where He is laid

Then wise men came from far away
With gifts so sweet and rare
To pay homage to this King of Kings
In a stable cold and bare

So come now let us celebrate
The birth of this same child
Who now rules o'er the universe
Though born so meek and mild

This King will reign eternally
His Kingdom has no end
Let this Christ Child live in you
And be your closest friend

Then when you leave this earthly home
For your appointed place
You'll have a mansion all your own
And meet Him face to face

Diane Christian March 4, 2010 at 10:56 AM so true, a great poem, Isaiah 6  For a child is born to us, a son is given to us. The government will rest on his shoulders. And he will be called: Wonderful Counselor,* Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. 7  His government and its peace will never end. He will rule with fairness and justice from the throne of his ancestor David for all eternity. The passionate commitment of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies will make this happen! God bless you from diane
