Today... 'Child' Poem by Roy Allen

Today... 'Child'



It was within a young virgins' womb
That the Child of God was given room
Because Mary the angel believed
Through the Holy Spirit she conceived

And wise men came with their gifts of gold
From distant lands the Child to behold
For to us the Christ Child was given
To show us the way to get to heaven

For this Child was the long promised One
Who came to earth as Gods' Only Son
This male Child she had given birth to
Had come to earth to save me and you

The Bible calls You by many names
each one giving a glimpse of Your glory.
Like a cut diamond radiating in the sun
with every facet depicting an aspect
of Your Divine Nature.
Today I have thought of You as
'Child'
