Good News-He Kept His Word
Busy keeping watch over sheep.
Angel appears - they would not sleep.
The shepherds walked at a quick pace,
To look upon the Christ child’s face.
They found him lying on the straw.
Baby Jesus is who they saw.
God’s Son entered the human race.
They’d look upon the Christ child’s face.
Still pinching themselves at the sight,
remembering the angel-light.
Heaven’s hosts came from hiding place.
They’d look upon the Christ child’s face.
“Do not be afraid! There’s good news!”
The angels exclaimed to the Jews.
Embodiment of holy grace.
They’d look upon the Christ child’s face.
“Glory to God in the highest.”
Hard to say whose eye was driest
as shepherds trekked to his birthplace.
Tears fall upon the Christ child’s face.
“There’s peace on whom God’s favor rests.”
The highest calling manifests.
His mother holds Him in embrace.
They’d look upon the Christ child’s face.
