~The Nativity Scene~


~*~
Outside a Church on a cold winter's night
A Nativity Scene, underneath a bright light
Trying to tell a wonderful story, you see
The true meaning of Christmas told you and me

*
Many years ago, in the Bible we're told
God sent His Son on this earth to behold
He sent Him to Mary to have as her son
She knew this babe was Gods chosen One


*
As Mary and Joseph on this long journey went
She got very tired carrying the One God had sent
So they tried to find a room at the inn
A night in the hay, they found they would spend

*

Born on that night was a little baby boy
His name was Jesus, He brought them much joy
In swaddling clothes was the little Christ child
Was put in the manger to rest for a while
*

God sent angels to watch over Him
Keeping them safe was His plan for them
Three wise men came, traveling from afar
To worship the Child born, were led by a star

*

This is the start as unfolds the story
Of a Saviour sent from His place in Glory
The true meaning seen on a cold winters night
The blessed Nativity Scene 'neath a bright light
