by Paul Mayes Jamar

A guiding star shined above
to guide those lost to Jesus’ love.

From the throne of Heaven came
God in man to heal many that are lame.

The downcast were His sheep at last.
They were healed and saved in a great mass.

Plucked from Satan’s graspy claw
By God’s only Son, the King of all.

Burdens cast upon His feet were gone
As all creation was saved before too long.

A man born, to take on the sin of the world,
To live and die an example to us unfurled.

Moses longed to see God’s face and nose,
Yet we can by gazing upon Jesus up close.

He is God in the flesh sacrificed for us
To be reconciled with the Father as we must.

To gain Salvation and Forgiveness for all time
Each year, the Christmas story blesses mankind.
