CHRISTMAS ~ A CELEBRATION OF THE BIRTH OF JESUS !

BRIAN & ANGELA

CHILD in the manger ~ Infant of MARY

Outcast and stranger ~ LORD of us all

CHILD who inherits ~ All our transgressions 

All our demerits ~ Did on HIM fall

 

Once the most  holy ~ Child of Salvation

Gentle and lowly ~ Lived here below

Now as our glorious ~ Mighty Redeemer

See Him victorious ~ over each foe !

 

Prophets foretold Him ~ Infant of wonder

Angels behold Him ~ High on His throne

Worthy our Saviour ~ of all their praises 

Happy for ever ~ JESUS IS LORD ~ AMEN

 

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS to MARY MACDONALD

 

Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ Love to ALL ~ BRIAN XOX 

 

This poem examines the paradox between who JESUS is

The Eternal Son of God and the way in which he was perceived

and treated by man during his 33 years of Earthly Ministry.

  • Comment from author about the poem: For many of us the commercialisation of Christmas comes too early and the deep spiritual significance of the INCARNATION gets drowned in the tinsle and tissue paper. This is why I am posting a Christmas Hymn ~ each week ~ to redress the balance ~ OK ! Love BRIAN XOX

        Well done! Great meter. Wonderful content! I wish they would put back the Christ back in Christmas, now we are just told "Happy Holidays"! Hugs in spirit--Christina

          Thanks CHRIS ~ I posted this one especially for you ~ I knew you would love it ! In some ways America is a paradox. In the past you have produced great Evangelists like Billy Graham who influenced the whole World and yet you have to be so so balanced and covert about Christianity ! Without CHRIST there is no CHRISTMAS ! Your CHRISTMAS STAMPS are secular and the one Spiritual One has to be "A Work of Art" with the Artists Name on and the US Art Gallery so it is not overtly Christian ! I love th one I posted with the poem ~ Beautiful Mary and a Great Baby Jesus. May be GOD is giving you the PRESIDENT you deserve ~ after TUESDAY (whoever wins) You really will have to TRUST IN GOD ~ AMEN ~ HUGS BRIAN

            This is extremely well done.

            P.S. I'm surprised that the stamp has not been banned in the US. Everything else about Christmas, Christ, the Bible, commandments etc. Is banned from public places.
