The manger is empty now,
The child has gone on his way,
Leaving us for his father,
and us a part to play.
The blessed child
Took away with him
death, and atonement
for our sins.
The father's only son,
On a cross, for our
sins atoned.
There are those that still do not believe,
And for them we must grieve.
For his love is a shining light,
In the darkness of doubt
of those without.
His love is there for the taking,
It is easy, nothing earth shaking,
It is simple as saying,
'Father come into my heart,
I believe in your love,
Please do not depart.
Forgive me of all my sins,
and let your love through me begin.
I pray to you. Amen. Amen.'
Joy to all on this his birthday,
Blessings be upon you all,
This I pray.
Merry Christmas and his love and blessings
to you this coming year.
