When a Child is Born

CHRISTMAS... B J Hoff
Hymn have tried to capture all its wonder;
Books of wisdom leave it unexplained.
Paintings have attenpted to portray it,
But its meaning will forever be contained
In the words a mother whispered by a manger,
A word she heard God's angel first proclaim;
Jesus... all the shining glory of Christmas
Is found within that holy, precious name.

Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place
and gave Him the name that is above every name.
Phillipians 2:9




With love and Blessings for joy and peace.
Jan

Yes amen Jan, I am so very thankful for that child being born, and that he grew up, died upon that tree, and paid my sin debt, oh yeah a child as he has never been born again, before or after. Praise his name. Hugs Barbara

What a beautiful song and sung so well! And to think God laid His whole plan of salvation on a Child - HE became that Child - the only way to live among us and be the perfect human ever, the perfect sacrifice for my sin! Thank you for your post!

That poem gave me goose bumps! How perfectly expressed - "Books of wisdom leave it unexplained."
