When it all began,
God was so very far away:
A mighty King whom man trust
honor and obey.
But we went astray,
And God said:
"My people need a friend"SO MANY
YEARS AGO,
IN BETHLEHEM A BABY CAME
LIKE A VIOLET IN THE SNOW
He was wrinkled and red,
And he cried just the same
As you and I.
And as she held her son,
Mary's secret filled her eyes.
Yes, she thought of us,
And knew that His peace
Could fill our lives.
O, the shepherds came,
And the angels sang
Throughout the night.
And the light of the star
Banished hopelessness and fright.
Yes, our Brother has come,
And now we know
That God is love. |
