A darkened world of war and strife,
Where hate and poverty ran rife,
Awaited a Savior, announced of old,
To warm so many hearts grown cold.

He came but not as a king with power
Or as a bold, strong, and fearless leader;
He came to us simply as a newborn Child,
The Man-God and King, humble and mild.

Our world is again dark with evil and strife
Even as we remember his Birth and his Life.
Will we as disciples now dare to offer his Love
And share with all his Light from above?

A HAPPY AND HOLY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!
