Br-r-r!

Br-r-r!

Freezing frozen in my bed,

Shriv’ring shoulders; frosty head,

Only thought to when I’m up,

Steaming coffee in my cup.

Grab the sweater; slippers don,

Put the boiling kettle on,

Took some pastry off the shelf,

Put outside; it frost’s itself.

Br-r-r it’s cold!

A King is Born Once More Today

A King is Born Once More Today

A King was born this glorious day,

In tiny hamlet far away,

The myriad prophets had foretold,

That God in man we would behold.

In husband Joseph’s lineage,

From David’s line the parentage,

A lowly maiden she did bear,

The Holy Spirit’s solo heir,

In faith like Abraham we rise,

To look once more in Jesus’ eyes,

A little babe born in a stall,

Hope of the world born for all.

A King is born once more today,

To take our every sin away,

For every Christmas is a start,

For Jesus born within each  heart!
