The When of Christmas

It wasn’t in December

On a cold and frosty morn,

But probably in the springtime

When that blessed child was born.

Not in a barn out on a hill,

But maybe in a cave,

That Love descended to the earth

For all of us to save.

And whether there were three or more,

The Wise Men were not kings,

But seekers who could read the skies

And know of greater things.

Brave Joseph and dear Mary

Still not really all that old,

And yet they dared believe the words

Just as the angel told.

“Fear not,” he said,

“I bring you news that will be of great joy

For life itself can now be changed

Because of this one boy.”

And thus, no matter when it was

Or how it all took place

A Savior long ago was born

To save the human race.

Remember then on Christmas Day

Or on Epiphany

The miracle that happened

At our Lord’s Nativity.

But sing His praise and live His love

Give thanks through all the year

For while we still lived in our sin

Our God to us came here.
