The man called Jesus
by julie clark THE MAN CALLED JESUS Have you seen a baby lying in a manger? Father and mother looking on with pride Upon their child meek and mild Wise men and shepherds gaze with awe At the peaceful sleeping child Have you seen a child? Playing with his friends Learning to be obedient Learning his fathers trade Going to the synagogue Teaching like a man Did you ever see a man? Walking through the streets Healing lots of people Sitting children upon his knee And setting the captives free Then kneeling to wash his disciple's feet Did you see the man dying on a tree? See him hanging for you and me See the thorn's upon his head Streams of forgiveness as he bled This is god son or so it is said Did you see a mother? Crying for her son Feeling much pain And feeling so alone We can't possibly understand As she remembers all the joyful times Did you see this Jesus? Standing at your door Knocking oh so quietly Waiting for an answer Hoping you will let Him in He wants to live within you And guide you all the way To take your hand and walk with you And hear your heart felt prayers So this jolly Christmas time With all the gifts and toys Remember too my savior And his free gift to you my name is julie clark and I have been writing poetry since I was sixteen, when I moved away for a job.
