The Babe Who Came To Save

There in a little town called Bethlehem
a couple called Joseph and Mary
the young woman who was pregnant
filled with worry almost daily

Nowhere could be found anywhere
until in that little town came inn
there a babe came forth here
God sent His son to take away sin

That little baby named Jesus Christ
here was God himself incarnate
in this body of flesh and bone
He came to save us from our fate

The saviour of the world no less
this Jesus destiny was upon a cross
God's anointed son truth embodied
focus to Calvary whatever the loss

This God-man full of God's spirit
drawing many to believe His gospel
came from heaven on a divine mission
salvation's news to make others well

Hello Gordon, Very well written. In reality Christmas lasts all year round. If God dint send His Son there would be no light in the world. I see you live in Scotland. Last summer had a chance to visit your wonderful country.Enjoyed the visit.
