A long long time ago
It did happen so
That a king of great wisdom
Looked down to his kingdom
And he sadly remarked, No!
So he called his council to his throne
And he said, “see my people, my very own
They have gone astray
They have left the right way
These things they’ve done, I cannot condone”
“Since they’ve done these things I condemn
My anger is upon them
Which one of you
Will go down and rescue
My people from the wrath that awaits them”?
Then he looked around
But all faces were to the ground
He echoed, “who shall I send”!
“Who shall I send”!
But there was not one sound
Then someone stood up from the row
-
And there was muttering ; “This cannot be so”
For it was a high-born
His very own son
He said, “Send me lord, I will go”
Then the king said to a messenger
“Go down to a woman named Mary and tell her
she has worn my favor
And through her will come the savior
She will be the mother of the messiah”
Soon after the visit of the messenger
Pregnant Mary was in a manger
There she gave birth to a son
Who was no ordinary born
He was the one to be the messiah
That night three men saw something afar
They looked, it was a bright shinning star
And they knew then
(for they were wise men)
That a king had been born somewhere far
So the three men followed the star
All the way to Judea
And then the star led them
Into Bethlehem
And there they found the new-born in a manger
And that was the beginning of the greatest story
To ever be known in history
The story of Jesus
Who came down to save us
Leaving behind his heavenly glory
He would live no more than thirty-five years
But his death would not be one bring tears
For his mission was done
On the day he passed on
He had saved us from our fears
And his word continue to spread on
Long after he was gone
From country to country
Viral went his story
And it all started that day he was born
And so every 25th December
Will be in date to remember
When Jesus christ our Lord
Came down to the world
To be our hope and our redeemer
