AWAY IN A MANGER

A sacred babe in a manger

Where great wisdom was birthed;

Surrounded by cattle

As our Lord came to earth.

Not your conventional suite

And by no means palace grounds,

But it’s where the King of kings

Was born and was found.

T’was a humble beginning

And with no sight of a crown;

No position of honour

And no elaborate gowns.

But God’s wisdom depicted

The importance of such;

So our Lord Jesus Christ

Both poor and rich would touch.

From a manger to a cross

And a humble spirit all His days;

Lest we forget His precious sacrifice

And live our lives to give Him praise.

“And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name JESUS, for He will save His people from their sins.” Matthew 1:21
