The Almighty God became a Baby.

In eternity's past a plan was agreed
and here on earth in began to proceed.
Mighty God a baby! How can this be?
Come let us explore this great mystery.

Before the moments of time had begun
at the great council of the Triune One
a mighty plan to save the race of man
was agreed upon before life began.

God incomprehensibly given room
was then conceived within a virgin's womb.
Fully God and man this great mystery,
a Baby was born so remarkably.

In Bethlehem His earthly life began
He who measured the cosmos with a span.
Mighty God, clothed in human frailty
lay there in a manger for all to see.

Songs of praises resounded from heaven
"Peace on the earth and good will to all men"
Shepherds gaze at the wondrous Babe in awe
As God in Bethlehem's manger they saw.

This awesome event in earth's history
was part of God's great plan for you and me.
The only way He could save us from sin
was to come to earth and His life begin

For this wondrous child in Bethlehem born
has heralded the birth of a new dawn.
God had become a Babe and came to earth
so we could enter heaven by new birth.

“…giving honor unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life,” 1 Peter 3:7

Luke 2:16—And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger
