Jesus, Christ our Savior, was born in a stable in Bethlehem. And a star led three wise men to a babe lying in a manger. For amongst the lowly livestock, Jesus, Christ our Savior, was born. And shepherds tending to their flocks were drawn to that miracle star. And they left their sheep in the fields, to go and see this wondrous thing. Jesus, Christ our Savior, was born and angels trumpeted His birth. And at that moment, the world changed, nothing would ever be the same. Through immaculate conception, Jesus, Christ our Savior, was born. (Quatern) 12/21/2021 Nativity New Poems Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Eve Roper
