ADVENT IS HERE! Day 19 WHAT A GIFT

On a night, dark and cold,


Came a gift, long foretold,


Far more precious than gold,


Who’d grow up to be bold


And to break Satan’s hold,


And bring blessings untold.

And the angels? They praised

The shepherds? All gazed.

The parents? Were dazed.

The wise men? Amazed.

King Herod? Half-crazed.

And Bethlehem? Just lazed.

By the life that he led,

And the words that he said,

And the food that he fed,

And the blood that he shed

When he died in our stead,

He still raises the dead

…..if we let him.
