The white marble figurines in a small manger
Creates a cozy sight for the eye
Fairy lights flickering and decorations dangling
An angel with unfurled wings hung high
Among the hay that is carefully strewn
Donkeys, cattle, and little lambs lie
The Three Wisemen bearing gifts, on camels
Follow a comet in the Eastern sky
A newborn lies in a neat straw crib
With a glorious halo shining gold
Shepherds with their flock gather around
The Lord and Savior to behold
Infant Jesus, tell me your side
Is this really what took place there?
Thousands of years back in the past
In a remote town cold and bare
A tale of denial, displacement, and deject
Wrapped in layers of festive cheer
What you went through to give us peace
With your endless love sincere
Infant Jesus, I pray to thee
Bless those who go through the same
For you are the Lord we cling to in faith
Until you walk among us again
