December 22

Once, two thousand year ago,
On a clear and starlit night,
Shepherds who kept their sheep in the hills
Saw a vision of unearthly light.

The birth of a Baby Boy was foretold
Who would save His people from sin;
But when His parents came to a Judean town,
They found there no room at the inn.

So Jesus was born in a stable that eve.
A treasure was He of great worth,
Yet He was born there among the animals.
A majesty of majesties on earth.

Jesus came to live among men,
a lovely stranger from celestial parts.
I pray we might all find room for Him
This night at the inn of our hearts.
