Bethelehem's Child - A poem

Bethlehem’s Child


I’d like to tell you of Bethlehem’s child,
Born in a manger, but king all the while.

Born of a virgin a gift of love,
Given by God, in heaven above.

He came to earth to suffer and be
A sacrifice for you and me.

The shepherds came and wise men too,
To worship one they hardly knew.

Yet those of us who bear his name,
Must often bow our heads in shame,

For we’ve forgotten a gift to bring,
To Jesus who was born a KING.

A king, whose anthem around us sounds,
Whose love and peace know no bounds,

Who calls us to his side to rest,
And offers us his very best.

No peace we’ll have ‘til him we bring
To live within, to make us sing.

To bring us love, and peace and cheer,
Helping conquer every fear.

Let all of heaven’s anthems ring,
Let us praise and glory sing,

And worship him through gifts we bring,
To Bethlehem’s child who was born a King
