Christ Our Savior
Jesus, Christ our Savior, was born
in a stable in Bethlehem.
A shining star led three wise men to
a babe lying in a manger
where angels trumpeted His birth.
And shepherds tending their flocks
were drawn to that same stable
by that same spectacular star.
And leaving their flocks in the fields,
they too, went to see this miraculous sight.
But, Christ was
born to save sinner's souls;
Jesus knew His destiny was
to suffer for Man's sins and die.
Peaching to the Jewish people,
He taught them how to pray
and love one another in peace.
But the Romans, along with the Pharisees,
crucified Him for this.
His Mother cried at his feet,
helpless to prevent His death.
And yet, as He died,
He called out to God, "forgive them,
for they know not what they do."
His body was placed in a tomb,
inline with Jewish practice.
And soldiers sealed it with a large stone,
placing guards to ensure it stayed shut.
But on the third day, it rolled away,
and Christ rose from the dead;
His Divinity confirmed,
as the Son of God
and the Savior of Mankind.
