God’s lovely gift <br />of love for man <br />was, being born <br />a child Himself, <br />named Emmanuel <br />(That’s ‘God with us’) <br /> <br />on Christmas Day’s <br />cold wintry night, <br />in manger at <br />Bethlehem town! <br /> <br />As angels flashed <br />The news around <br />To shepherds near, <br />Who heard in fear, <br /> <br />And three Magi <br />From East too came, <br />Brought by the Star <br />Of Bethlehem! <br /> <br />'And born was joy, <br />A baby boy; <br />Who brought us peace <br />To live in ease.' <br /> <br />The King of kings <br />And Lord of lords <br />Would die on cross <br />For mankind’s sins, <br />Creation since, <br /> <br />And pay the price <br />For all on earth, <br />Though sinners be <br />To reach heaven! <br /> <br />What love supreme <br />Then God showed man, <br />Of all creatures <br />He’d made with love! <br /> <br />Our living God, <br />Our loving God, <br />Wants every soul <br />Live with this goal! <br /> <br />‘Happy Christmas 2007 to all on earth! ’<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/god-s-christmas-gift-to-man-2/
