On such a cold night as this,
A little babe was born
Into a world of racial strife,
And many were forlorn.
They must have felt, so keenly then,
That hope was all but lost.
So many babies had been killed,
And houses had been tossed.
Yet, a little baby boy
Survived the night to walk
The rugged hills of Galilee
And lead a shepherd’s flock.
He walked the shores of Galilee
And talked to fishermen.
He fed the poor, healed the sick,
And forgave those with sin.
He treated kindly those He met,
Had mercy in His heart.
He touched the outcasts’ hands
And made His giving an art.
He came to teach another way
That men could finally live:
A life of love and service
And wanting to forgive.
For we were given a great gift
The world had never known:
A gift of love and sacrifice,
So none would die alone.

Truly poignant, Sara. Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
