His Own


Could this be GOD’s own Son?
His fingers grasp like mine
They hold his mother’s hand
Not his Fathers royal scepter
His mouth suckles to feed
Speaking A babies Language
After speaking to the universe
Feet that counted with 10 toes
Walked a dusty shepherd trail
Once stepped among the stars
Could this be GOD’s own Son?
A King loved a wretch like me
Worlds Sovereign by strength
Forcing all the knees to bow
The Choice not to be given
Would we expect anything less?
We want a strong king to rule
He lives as a carpenter’s son
Poor, no possessions of his own
Borrowing all that he had
Could this be GOD’s own Son?
Thorny crown worn with pain
By decree beaten and flogged
Betrayed of his GOD’s people
Synagogue rulers call blaspheme
Romans place him with criminals
To Golgotha he was sent cruelly
Drops of Blood tracing the path
Nails piercing the hands and feet
Hanging on an evil Roman cross
Could this be GOD’s own Son?
Three days the tomb was occupied
The stone remained in its place
For me, there He did not stay
Death could not hold the King
I am the resurrection and the life
He who believes in me will live,
With my mind I shall believe
With my heart I shall Love
With my Lips I shall declare
Surely he was God’s own Son

Born is a King

For unto us a child is born

Angels give voice to the news

With this birth comes joy

A star giving the manger light

A virgin cradles her only son

This King born on a Holy night

He will be called Immanuel

Wonderful counselor, Mighty God

Heavens sovereign, The Son of man

Earths rulers will come to bow

Shepherds simple gift of worship

This world never to be the same

The messiah stepped into time

Salvation has come to us sinners

The Kingdom of Heaven is near

Hosanna to the highest he’ll hear

Crucify him soon after to be shouted

Still on this day Heaven moved

Ignoring the pain that must come

The cross that awaits his arrival

Even so this was Bethlehem day

No longer the least among Judah

Forever the birthplace of Christ

This is an event for all the ages

People wandering in the darkness

They have now seen a great light

For unto us a child is born
