When Mary Hugged Her Newborn Son

When Mary hugged her new­born son

She pon­dered all that God had done.

Could she know all her child would be—

The life he’d bring hu­man­ity?

When shep­herds heard the an­gel’s joy

They went to find that ba­by boy.

Could they see there in Beth­le­hem

A friend to out­casts just like them?

When wise men came with gifts to share

They saw young Je­sus play­ing there.

Could they be­hold in one so small

God’s gift most pre­cious of them all?

God

make us faith­ful

hum­ble

wise

To know that Je­sus chang­es lives.

May we be op­en to the way

That he would change our lives this day.
