Nativity

in modern times we view the simple yet beautiful nativity scene as nothing special. But it is more sophisticated that it actually appears, there is a special message that goes along with this simple lawn ornament.

Nativity

 

 

What do you see before thee

Nothing more than a nativity?

 

A man and a woman with

Some sheep and some goats

 

They surround a manger

That contains humanity's hope.

 

To you a mere nativity

To me a message of serenity.

 

 God's promised Lamb, the perfect sacrifice

A savior is born to save Adam's lost race.

 

This child is more than just plastic and paint

He will grow up to be a righteous saint.

 

Loved and despised by men and women alike

He will be crucified to save your life.

 

Do you still see before thee

Nothing more than a nativity?
