Long Ago In Bethlehem Town

Long ago in blessed Bethlehem… Triumphant Town The prince of peace from the holy heavens came down Born by a virtuous virgin, lovely laid in a mere, manger Peace to the world, from now on we cease to be strangers Joy to the world, the Lord is come to the erring earth, And he shall save his people from their sinful strength His name shall be called Emmanuel, Eternal God with us Wonderful, wise, white, whole and worthy… Jesus

He may not be white as we know it. The race of Jesus of Nazareth has long been debated between historians and scientist. Opinions note that he is "most likely" a Galilean Jew with features resembling Middle Eastern descent, a dark olive colored skin tone.The Bible does not tell us what he looked like, only where he was from. With that said, I liked your poem....Thank you...
