Today... 'Christ The Lord' Poem by Roy Allen

In David's town the promised Saviour came
Christ Jesus the Lord was His name
The Counsellor and Almighty God lay
A Babe in Bethlehem's cradle that day.

Angels in heaven his glory declare
Local shepherds came to worship Him there
Eastern wise men followed His natal star
And travelled to see Him from lands afar.

Words of Isaiah that prophet of old
Of His glory and virgin birth foretold
'To us a child is born Who is the Lord
Wonderful Counsellor and Mighty God'

This wondrous child of God in whom we see
The fullness of the Godhead bodily
Is none other than Jesus Christ the Lord
The promised Saviour foretold in Gods Word
