A Deliverer
by Stacey Thaeler At the brink of the river Where the flags grow thick An ark of bulrushes lay Held together with slime It concealed God's plan Revealed in His perfect time Far away stood sister Ready to defend This crying baby boy Compassion flowed From the princess' heart As fear rose up in her own The baby cried His sister spoke The princess gave a command Go! This baby must not die This Hebrew will survive In an old dusty manger Where the hay lay thick The infant Jesus slept Bound in swaddling clothes He concealed God's plan Revealed in His perfect time Far away stood shepherds Ready to proclaim The birth of God's own Son Wonderment rose From deep in Joseph's heart As love flowed in Mary's own The baby cried His Father spoke The angel gave a command Go! Unto you is born a Savior Which is Christ the Lord Copyright 2008 Stacey Thaeler Article Source: http://www.faithwriters.com |
