Once in a stable, <br />because they found no room. <br />Once as crucified, <br />once in a borrowed tomb. <br /> <br />Once as resurrected, <br />once ascending in the clouds. <br />Once as Lord of lords, <br />before Him all shall bow! <br /> <br /> Once He came, so long ago, <br />a babe in Bethlehem. <br />Once he lived in a robe of flesh <br />the one called Son of Man. <br /> <br />Once in a manger, <br />once as a child. <br />Once as a servant, <br />humble, meek and mild. <br /> <br />Once He fulfilled His father's will, <br />sinless on this earth. <br />Once He died for lost sinners, <br />His death gave them new birth. <br /> <br />Once for all eternity, <br />His glory to be proclaimed! <br />Once he will return King of kings, <br />forever He shall reign!<br /><br />Loyd C.
