The Promised Child

Old father stared across the night,
Into the light of promised grace.
And his descendants, like the stars,
Blessed from afar for his great faith.
Thus, Abraham beheld first light
Revealed to man, the coming Christ.

The prophets looked ahead to Christ
And warned the people, flee from night.
God moved men with dreams of light
And peace, despite the need for grace.
The spoken word made way for faith;
Redemption waits for shining star.

From outer lands in search of star,
The wise men came to find the Christ.
And by surprise the child of faith,
Became the Great King over night.
For God extended hand of grace
To every race who sought His light.

In Bethlehem, salvation’s light
Was born beneath a hopeful star.
God’s gift to men, an act of grace,
Behold, the face of love, in Christ!
The shepherds danced with joy that night,
For freedom came to live by faith.

Young parents fled the world by faith,
Through darkest times to reach the light.
With evil on their heels by night,
God brought them from their plight to star.
How far they’d come to see the Christ,
Believed, endured, for Son of Grace.

The angels marveled at God’s grace,
Announced his place: the Child of Faith.
Triumphantly they praised the Christ,
Revealed to all, salvation’s light.
Then sacrificed for all us stars
From near to far, thus ending night.

Amazing grace, eternal light,
Lift up your faith upon bright star.
Behold, the Christ child blessed that night.

Merry Christmas Everyone 🙂
