by Paul Mayes Jamar

When the world seemed bleak,
Three wise men came to seek
The Christ Child in Bethlehem
In a lowly manger dark and dim.

Then a great light appeared up high
To many of Earth’s wanderers, passing by.

Is today the same or different?
Living in a bleak world lost and bent.

Yet Jesus gives hope abundantly
And salvation to many, plus tranquility.

Wise men and women today seek Him
For freedom of their sin so dim.

We travel a dark and dreary life
In search of an end to our strife.

Jesus Christ is our great beginning
Of spiritual blessings and an end to sinning.

The end of life for us Jesus Freaks
Is gaining bliss in Heaven’s streets.

Seek Jesus out today, and you will say
“Hallelujah” as the angels praise Jesus every day.
