One little life, sent to change all lives. <br />One child of love and peace. <br />One holy blessing sent from God, <br />His wonders to increase. <br /> <br />One precious gift of a gentle Babe, <br />One marvel to the earth. <br />One dear voice to teach us how to know, <br />the reasons for his birth. <br /> <br />One star that shone with brilliant light, <br />One manger for his bed. <br />One Mother Mary so full of joy, <br />within loaned cattle shed. <br /> <br />One tiny soul came to save us all, <br />One dear Redeemer’s Son, <br />One man who walked, talked and healed, <br />His glory had begun. <br /> <br />One message from out our Master’s book <br />One lesson to be read. <br />One book of laws, shows the way to good, <br />to feast on Heaven’s bread. <br /> <br />One Christmas Day, one wondrous day. <br />One great event in time. <br />One treasure that we’ll never forget, <br />the Lord Jesus sublime. <br /> <br /> <br />© Ernestine Northover<br /><br />Ernestine Northover<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/one-great-event-in-time/
