Without the Father's giving
There's no gift for me today
Without the Christ's descending
The manger holds but hay
Without the Spirit's shadow
Mary's womb would empty be
But by the Lamb of Bethlehem
God's Christmas came to me!
God's Christmas

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him would not perish but have ever lasting life. John 3:16
One quiet night in Nazareth
God’s angel came to tell
Sweet Mary as she sat alone
Of God Immanuel
As Mary listened, she believed
God’s great eternal plan
“But how,” she asked “Could He choose me?
When I don’t know a man?”
In kind reply the angel said
“God’s Spirit soon will come
And by His shadow cover you
To make this child His Son
“And He will be the Lamb of God
The gift all may receive
Filled by God’s grace and truth with love.”
And Mary just believed!
And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her from the Lord.
Luke 1:45 ESV
Mary Just Believed

We each have a role in Psalm twenty-three
Ours is to follow, Our Father’s to lead
He owns the green pastures where He offers us rest
And He leads by still waters on the path that is best
Will we choose to lie down
Will we worry instead?
Will we follow HIs footsteps
Through the valley ahead?
Will we sit at the table, He’s prepared with His treasure
While the enemy watches He fills cups beyond measure
Will we rest and receive?
Will we stay? Will we leave?
For a home waits ahead
For all those who believe!
The Lord is my Shepherd I shall not want
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures
He leadeth me beside the still waters
Psalm 23:1-2 KJV
Will we Follow?
