Go to list of previous Commentaries Two Christmas Poems - "That Night" and "Joseph's Song"
This commentary will consist of two wonderful poems for the Christmas season. The first one "That Night" was written by an unknown author. The second, "Joseph's Song" was written by Michael Card.
That NightThat night when in the Judean skiesThe mystic star dispensed its light, A blind man moved in his sleep - And dreamed that he had sight. That night when shepherds heard the song Of hosts angelic choiring near, A deaf man stirred in slumber's spell - And dreamed that he could hear! That night when in the cattle stall Slept Child and mother cheek by jowl, A cripple turned his twisted limbs - And dreamed that he was whole. That night when o'er the newborn Babe The tender Mary rose to lean, A loathsome leper smiled in sleep - And dreamed that he was clean. That night when to the mother's breast The little King was held secure, A harlot slept a happy sleep - And dreamed that she was pure! That night when in the manger lay The Sanctified who came to save, A man moved in the sleep of death - And dreamed there was no grave. Joseph's SongHow could it beThis Baby in my arms Sleeping now so peacefully The Son of God the angel said How could it be? Lord, I know He's not my own Not of my flesh, not of my bones Still Father let this Baby be The Son of my love Father show me where I fit into This plan of Yours How can a man be father to the Son of God? Lord, all my life I've been a simple carpenter How can I raise a king? How can I raise a king? He looks so small His face and hands so fair And when He cries the sun just seems to disappear But when He laughs It shines again How could it be? Father show me where I fit into This plan of yours How can a man be father to the Son of God? Lord, all my life I've been a simple carpenter How can I raise a king? How can I raise a king? How could it be This Baby in my arms Sleeping now so peacefully The Son of God the angel said How could it be? 12/26/2007 www.konig.org Go to list of previous Commentaries Copyright ©1999-2008 George Konig Home Page Our email address is: cifquestions@yahoo.com |
