And so the Son of God came to earth He came as a helpless baby Knowing even then that he was to die And yet he lived a full life We celebrate his birth each year It is the time of peace, the peace he brought What a wonder it would have been To see his star bright in the sky To feel the wonder of the angels To hear their voices raised in praise If I could have been there Witness the wise men worshiping The sheperds in silent admoration Mary and Joseph afraid but proud An Jesus wonding what the fuss is about What a place for a King to be born perfect in it simple humbleness As it should be, not palace, but a stable No robe of purple, swaddlying clothes Yet a halo around his head. God, God you are great To give us this gift Your Son to save us for all time We worship you for this And love abounds. Merry Christmas to all, I won't be here next week to put out any more Christmas poems, composed at the terminal M.J.Hauck 12/16/82 9:00am
