Look! A new star up above
A new wave is come upon us
Just as prophesy foretold
A child is born
Beneath Bethlehem's night sky
Wrapped up in swaddling cloth
O what a beautiful babe we have here
On a mission he has come
How do we welcome Him
Who did not just come but
Has always been in the beginning
With God
And is God
The Creator
Yes
The One who created the heavens and the earth
Said let there be light and there was light
The One who is King, commands chariots of fire
With warrior angels at His disposal
His throne he leaves and now
He cries in a lowly manger filled with hay
JESUS is His name
O Sweet Baby Jesus
Vulnerable like the ones he came to save
O King Baby Jesus
The only one of his kind
Was, is or ever will be
For love is often given to babes when they are born
But love He brought with life's first cry
Love He taught, Love He showed, Love He gives
To all even though....
He comes so all can have life
Life in abundance
Yet He chooses to start life with an adventure
On a donkey, across country
On the run from King Herod
Who was threatened by a little baby
O Great little one
Born with a destiny so grand
HE has chosen to live by example
For to save us, HE becomes us to show us
Obstacles, temptations, naysayers surround us
But our eyes we fix on the price
Just as HE did on the cross
For He lives so he would die
Die that we may live not only this life,
But the one eternal with the Father
His Father - God
For He has come to do His Father's work
This is His Son in whom HE is well pleased
Follow Him the new star
Like the wise men from the east did
With their gold, acknowledge his Kingship on earth
Adore His Priesthood, Reverence His Sacrifice
Everyday for they are frankincense and myrrh
Treasures fit for the new born baby
The second person of the Trinity
Welcome
O
Little
One.
