So long ago a child was born
In swaddling clothes He lay
Sheep and cattle gathered near
And wise men kneeled to pray
As time went by upon the earth
This child had years to grow
Once He sought a temple’s scribes
To tell them what to know
The Son did speak His Father’s words
Of love and trust and truth
Others must be taught to know
The principles of this youth
He lived His life each every day
By the tenets of which he spoke
They form the basis of our lives
As one we must invoke
So long ago a man did die
In swaddling clothes he lay
He gave His life for all of us
And now it’s time to pray

Beautifully written Pam. The pilot of a journey we will all make, but die by a cross of our own making 😀
