Nativity

A young couple plan for their first baby,                            they must first take a trip.                                              It is winter with warm days~cold night,            they need a place to stay.                                All rooms have been booked,                                          only a stable was available.                                            A King was to be born,                                                    the animals were listening for the cry.                              Angels and his mother sang,                                            as the baby slept to the lullabies.                                     The three Wise Men saw a star,                        now traveling to the town of Bethlehem.                          They were bringing the baby gifts,                                  gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.                              No one knew how this baby would change the world,         Jesus our Savior had been born for all to see.                  We now have a story to be told,                                      shout it for all to hear.
