There's More To The Meaning Of The Manger Poem by Gary James Smith

There's More To The Meaning Of The Manger

There's more to the meaning of the manger
Than what literally meets the eye
When we just give it a casual thought
A deeper truth passes by
Imagine a birth that was heralded
To shepherds by angels above
It must surely have been of significant importance
For it was ordained by God

A virgin birth...Hallelujah!
Without a sin nature born
A birth that was one of a kind
Definetly not of the norm
And prophesied in ages past
To be earth's greatest Present
For for the Salvation of lost souls
The Lord Jesus Christ was sent

We don't have many references
To the whole of our Saviour's life
But enough is given for us to believe
How we can obtain eternal life
And acharacter like none other
Who lived with such servant hood
That every action He did in this life
Was totally for our good

As He walked and lived amongst men
He brought such radiance
For He was the Light of the world
This was not all by chance
For He knew of the Cross before we knew it
And He didn't hold back at all
But set His face as a flint on His mission
To be obedient to Calvary's call

Yes Calvary covered it all
Where sin had finally met its match
And was dethroned from its effectiveness
To hold us to the mat
And on that count of three days
His body showed life again
And still we celebrate Christmas
For it's all because if Him! ! !

What is your greatest celebration
That gives you some bragging rights
Ours is our boast in Jesus Christ
Who can turn darkness into light
For we can raise a Hallelujah
And keep that note in tune
Fir guess what? ! ! ! ... our Messiah!
He will be coming back soon! ! ! ! ....

Hallelujah what a Saviour!
