Who is this?
It was dark, the announcement
told
To people standing in the cold
Wondering why the light and shout
What could be so great for angels
to come out?
A child is born, a savior give
Sent to die so we could live
But where is this child of fuss?
Why come yelling to folks like us?
In Bethlehem, Oh little town
In a Stable cold and brown
Find the babe, yes babe I said
Lying in a manger bed.
This makes no sense,
To send us thence
For a king in no manger should
lie
With cattle giving the lullaby
This boy will indeed grow
And as a man will show
How sins need not kill
For death is not God’s will.
In all this time of mess and fuss
The child still comes to us
Calling us to believe and obey
For God was in that manger hay.
