BOYHOOD OF JESUS

A boy plays in the tall green grasses,
Then stops to watch as flowers grow.
There is no need for science classes,
He’s creator of Heaven and Earth below!

All the birds gather to sing their praises,
While furry playmates bow at His feet.
The Angels above He amazes,
With His wisdom so complete.

Delighted with all earth’s beauty
He wades the creek's tranquil flow,
As the Father describes His duty
Angels anoint Him with a radiant glow

At last, in the temple He stands to preach
No other can match his perception
This boy who came forth to teach
Above all men, He is the exception

His image only the heart can perceive
No portrait could capture His splendor
Faith will show us what to believe
Once to God’s will we surrender
