Where Is He
In the book of Matthew for everyone to see
It asks a very clear question, Where Is He?
Who are they talking about? Who could they possibly mean.
I believe they're referring to Jesus Christ, the new born king
There were three men from far away kingdoms
known as The Magi
They had come to acknowledge The Son of Man
thus fulfilling the prophecy
Guided by a bright star
on the eastern horizon
They travelled far to see the One that God
said keep their eyes on
Born in a manger to the carpenter Joseph and the Virgin Mary
He was the Holy Spirit in the flesh, God's prodigy
Laying in a bed of hay
He was sent to show us The Way
We've forgotten what the day Christmas truly represents
It's not about gadgets, new clothes nor expensive presents
It's not about I-pods, plasma TVs or the new X-box toy
It's the day to celebrate the birth of our Savior the Deliverer of our Joy
We can't seem to remember that Jesus was sent as a gift from God above
To deliver us and redeem us with the sacrifice of His blood
That was on the crown and the cross for all the people to see
But the one unanswered question remains
Where Is He?
The Jews betrayed Him, the Romans flayed Him
they kicked Him to the curb
They could not discern that He was God in the flesh
and His flesh was the Word
They tried to corrupt Him, then interrupt Him
when all He wanted was to show them God's Kind
But the passion in Him had subsided because of their closed minds
Where Is He, the one we now need the most?
Where Is He, that manifestation of the Holy Ghost?
Well He's not at Macy's, He's not at Target and
you can't reach Him on the latest I phone
Would you even greet Him or mistreat Him as
the heir to the heavenly throne?
If you were to see Him, could you even perceive Him
as being the most important gift
that Father God had sent to us,
so that our hope and spirits would lift?
Where Is He?, God's only begotten Son,
the child in the manger, the new born king, the Anointed One?
Many now believe Him, many now receive Him
that miracle maker from so long ago
Our Messiah, Our Salvation the One we all should know
Where is He?
