HISTORY/STORY (BIRTH NARRATIVES)






DID IT REALLY HAPPEN

DID MAGI COME BRINGING GIFTS

DID SHEPHERDS LEAVE THEIR FLOCK

DID SOLDIERS SLAY CHILDREN FOR A KING

DID THEY HAVE TO FLEE TO EGYPT



SOME SAY YES

THE BIBLE IS HISTORY



SOME SAY NO

THE BIBLE IS STORY



BUT WHATEVER WAY IT HAPPENED

YES OR NO

OR SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN



A CHILD WAS BORN

MIRACLE ENOUGH IN ITSELF



BY LEAP OF FAITH

THAT CHILD IS GOD



THERE IS NO NEED FOR STORY



BUT DO WE LIVE

AS ONE

WHOM CHRIST WALKED AMONG

TAUGHT

DIED

ROSE

LEFT IN BODY

BUT HIS SPIRIT REMAINS



OR ARE WE STILL

AT SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSONS

BEING SERVED SWEETNESS

WHEN WE NEED MEAT



HAS THE WONDER OF THE INCARNATION

CHANGED US



THAT EVERY MAN HAS DIGNITY

BECAUSE CHRIST DID NOT THINK

IT BELOW HIS DIGNITY

TO BE COME ONE



SO AT THIS TIME OF YEAR

THERE IS A CHILD THAT NEEDS NOURISHING



AND HIS FOOD

IS LOVE AND SERVICE
