Reflection of Glory

Throughout history time passes,
There was a point where a Caesar counted the masses.
Everyone who inhabited the land--
All had to be counted. They followed Caesar's command.
Joseph and Mary were two that came--
Two regular people without much fortune or fame;
They were engaged and carrying a son.
In the city of David, Mary gave birth; a new life had begun.
Wrapped up in a manger He laid,
There was no room at the inn, no matter how much they paid.

During this time shepherds were out,
Angels appeared to them to tell what this night was about.
The news brought was of great joy.
They told of a Savior being born in Bethlehem--a baby boy.
Then a multitude of angels appeared.
They sang about God's glory and peace, then disappeared.
After they saw this with their eyes,
They journeyed to bring the message from the angels in the skies.
Their voyage was swift and fast;
They found the new family before much time had passed.
And there--the baby in the manger.
They told about the statement from the heavenly stranger.
Mary treasured the things said.
While others questioned, she held them in her heart instead.
Soon the shepherds left giving God praise.
They were filled with God's glory and their hearts set ablaze.
The babe is Jesus, the Son--
Right hand of God, who was and is and He IS going to come.
