Mary’s life took a turn in a flash
When Gabriel came for a day
“Highly favored with God!
A son will be born, now listen, don’t delay!”
“He will be called the Son of God,”
Mary’s like “How can I believe this stranger?”
She took it all in and pondered it all
And off she and Joe went to a manger.
A manger, you ask? It’s THE Son of God!
That seems a bit bizarre!
But, they trusted Gabe’s words
And off they went, guided by a star.
So the shepherd dudes were doing their thing
Keeping watch over their flocks by night
And an angel of the Lord appeared to them
Oh, my, that must have been a fright!
But the angel said “Don’t be afraid.
I bring you good news of great joy!
Today in the town of David
A Savior will be born, and he’s the real McCoy!”
The shepherd dudes heard the heavenly host
Praising God and singing
Glory to God and on earth peace to men
Those Christmas bells were a ringing!
So, soon they found Mary and Jo
And baby Jesus a sleeping
The shepherds, returned, glorifying God
And joyfully weeping!
Immanuel, God with us!
He’s the answer to our deepest pain!
Whether we’re lonely or lost or weary,
There’s really no need to complain!
Seek Him, Find Him, Know Him,
A relationship with God is sweet
For there’s nothing so beautiful
As sitting at His feet.
Make this Christmas special
Remember the real live story
And don’t forget to celebrate
And give God great, great glory!
