36, 4-6, PODCAST NOTES & COPYRIGHTS
Tomorrow we celebrate the birth of the Son of God, our Savior and Redeemer, Jesus the Christ.
Today we are going to read three Christmas poems that were grouped together in God’s Rhyme as The Christmas Progression. It seemed fitting to me as I wrote the last poem for the book in December.
THE CHRISTMAS PROGRESSION, (© 2019, God’s Rhyme, pg. 135)
THE WONDER OF CHRSTMAS (GOD'S GIFT)
Oh let us sing today
Filling our hearts with joy
The Prince of Peace has come
With the birth of this baby boy
For to us a child is born
To us a Son is given
And His name will be called
Wonderful Counselor
Mighty God
Everlasting Father
Prince of Peace
Sing with a joyful noise
So those around can hear
As our hearts now rejoice
In our Almighty God today
Father everlasting
In the birth of Your Son
We find the true reason
We do celebrate this season
Wonderful Counselor
The Messiah from birth
God’s gift to us on earth
May we return His love with joy
For to us a child is born
To us a Son is given
And His name will be called
Wonderful Counselor
Mighty God
Everlasting Father
Prince of Peace

THE FIRST GIFT
Another year again gone by,
Another year older.
We are now near the lullaby,
Are we any bolder?
The manger
The birth
The star
And strangers
Have we met that baby boy child
So glorious and mild?
Is He more than a memory,
A nice Christmas story?
An everlasting gift of God’s
In the birth of His Son.
A miracle that seems at odds
To the world, this one.
With His birth
His death
And resurrection
Our sins
Forgiven
And now it is Christmas again.
His gift, open the door
And you just have to let Him in
And unwrap salvation.
ONE CHRISTMAS DAYS
" In the beginning was the Word, and the Word
was with God and the Word was God. He was
in the beginning with God." John 1:1,2, NKJV
Before the Christmas carols we did sing,
forever before a single church bell did ring,
before we could shout to the world with joy,
was the Word, God's baby boy.
"And the Word became flesh and dwelt among
us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the
only begotten Son of the Father." John 1:14, NIV
The Word was born in the flesh, as is...
