A virgin birth

One lonely night,

Brings the Saviour 

Into sight.

 

He was a beacon

To all the world,

A perfect rose

Now unfurled.

 

His mission was

To save our souls,

And free from damnation

As the church bell tolls.

 

A humble byre

Was his bed,

A man of destiny

It is said.

 

But what became 

Of such promise,

A cross on a hill

To take burden off us.

 

And now the world

Must learn to cope,

And live in love

Our only hope.

I like it, Hilary, and the simple brief structure. Though I thought also, that because he rose again to life it enables him now to help us cope and send his Spirit to grow that love in our hearts. So we need to learn his ways, but also see our need of asking his help to walk in them! Rhiannon

Hi Rhiannon,

Thanks for reading. I had written that much evil stuff, from murder to cannibalism and infestations I thought this  would make a change and I knew you as a christian would probably appreciate its sentiment! You are right of course God sends us help through his spirit and is not dead at all, but a living God for the living.
