THE BIRTH

Joy came with the birth of a baby
Wrapped in swaddling clothes
Sleeping peacefully, away in a manger
Where wonderous stories foretold
A star from Bethlehem shined on the stable
To welcome that Joy to earth
Many were born before and after
But something different accompained this birth
Baby Jesus was born of a Virgin
His father was from Heaven above
Sent down here as a sacrifice for all
To show us his undying love
He came into the world just as you and I
But will be remembered as our only true friend
One that incurred a great deal of pain
So that we may be pardoned for our sins
My what Joy filled this earth
The night Baby Jesus was born
Three wisemen came bearing gifts of gladness
To see the one that they had waited for so long
Remember this day the birth of that baby
And the joy that happen long ago
Share it with your children and give them the meaning
So that one day they to shall know
The season of giving is not just a present
It's Love and Joy that abide within the soul
Taught by the baby that was lying in a manger
Wrapped in swaddling clothes
