Christmas Snow
Starring out the
kitchen window
watching fluffy snow fall
Remember that first Christmas
when a King was born in a manger
Imagine that long ride
to the small town of Bethlehem
a King of all kings
was born in the manger
From infinite to finite
this baby was worshipped
by the men with sheep
and magi from a- far
a Lord of all lords
But another King
hated the babe
jealously ripped through him
'Born another King?'
he growled
and sentenced all babies to death
The little King grew up
escaped the murderous rampage
and became the Prince of Peace
Told parables of truth
Told the way to salvation
Told the world He was the Son of Man
only to be called a liar
a lunatic and fraud
this innocent babe
was crucified
this child who was worshipped
who followed the law to the letter
was nailed to the cross
Died.
Buried.
Lord of lords?
King of kings?
Messiah?
Saviour?
Redeemer of man- kind?
Dead and buried.
An innocent child
born in a manager
with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh
gifts for a king
foretold by the angels
and prophets
was dead and buried
Was betrayed by a friend
this King of kings
Sold for thirty pieces
this Lord of lords
such power and majesty
dead and buried
Three days later
a sadden mother and friend
go to perform
the funeral ritual
wonders of wonders
the babe was not there
risen and alive
as the Scriptures foretold.
Lord of all lords!
King of all kings!
The Messiah!
The Saviour!
Redeemer of man- kind!
Risen and alive!
Sentenced to die
death can hold no bonds
on the Son of God!
Now starring out the window
white fluffy snow fall
reminding us
once more
what Christmas is all about.
Lord of lords!
King of kings!
Prince of Peace
and Son of Man
My Saviour
and Redeemer
I worship You with all.
