Why did he leave the place of light
To come to a stable at dead of night?
Why leave the home where angels had sung
To be placed in straw among animal dung?
It wasn’t pretty. No tinsel was there
Just a father and mother with their loving care
Yet this birth was just the very beginning
Of God come down to earth bringing
His mercy and grace, love, peace and joy
Eternal hope in a tiny boy.
His name, Jesus, Saviour, Emmanuel
God come to earth with us to dwell.
