Nativity
They had to leave their Nazareth home
at the decree of the emperor of Rome,
Joseph and pregnant Mary travelled to Bethlehem
where nobody they found to take care of them.
They were visited by an angel, Gabriel
who predicted and was gracious to tell,
Mary would soon give birth to a son,
the Son of God, by divine intervention.
Travelling tired to the new town all the way
and failing to find a place to stay,
they took refuge in a stable empty
where Jesus was born to save the humanity.
That was when a brilliant star rose high
above the stable in the splendorous sky,
attracted three wise men from the east
who from Herod saved our savior, Christ.
The nativity dawned a heavenly day to rejoice
and to seek the Lord’s grace in devout voice,
pay faithful homage to the God’s son,
for He would save us from the sins done.
