'Twas Earth, The Cradle Of The Human Race Poem by Royston Allen

Come ponder this event in history
when God came to the world for you and me.
'twas Earth, the cradle of the human race
He had chosen to be His Son's birthplace.

Then to show the Wise Men where Jesus lay
sent a star in the sky to blaze the way
as angelic hosts proclaimed the birth
of Christ the Saviour who came to earth.

Now come with me upon this great journey
to Bethlehem the incarnate God to see.
Behold Him there contracted to a span
God in human form now dwells with man

And through the scriptures we can trace His life
read of his love and his great sacrifice
No greater love can a man have than this
so that we might have life he gave up his
