Christmas Poem

The night was holy, the night was clear,
a cosmic event was happening here

Upon the earth a plan was unfolding
because of the babe that Mary was holding

Away in a manger the infant slept
a ray of hope into all hearts crept

The Lord that was come brought Joy to the World
while skies full of angels his banner unfurled

Jacob’s ladder bridged heaven and earth
Jacob’s descendent gave heaven birth

Nothing now could be the same,
Heaven had shared its holy flame

Stars that burned since dawn of time
now joined Angels in visual rhyme

Glory that always had filled the skies
Now was revealed in a baby’s cries

What Child is this? could rightly be asked
The face of God was being unmasked

Listen, what’s that the angels sing?
Glory to the newborn King

Having visited our demise
He can raise us to the skies

Consider all he came to do
Life from Heaven for me and you

Just as God’s will in Heaven is done
So also on Earth through the birth of His Son!
