We Remember

We remember helpless baby:
growing perfect child will be,
teacher of God’s truth so wise:
Source of all the earth and skies.
Why? oh, why, what have we done
to need the advent of God’s Son?
We remember midnight’s message
to the shepherds, Herod’s rage.
Jesus later was so kind,
healed the sick, the deaf, the blind.
Why? oh, why, what have we done
to need the advent of God’s Son?
We remember Mary’s sorrow,
watching Jesus suffering so:
crucifixion for our pardon,
giving life through resurrection.
Saviour born to heal the rift,
now friends of God? the Christmas Gift!

This is beautiful, Rhiannon.
This is beautiful, Rhiannon. Is it a song / hymn ? It feels as though it should be sung.

Hello Rhiannon,
Hello Rhiannon,
This poem does have a lyrical feel about it and I can imagine it could be set to music. I like it as a poem though. It carries a powerful Christian message too.
Much enjoyed
Moya
