Christ's Birthday Is Nearing...Did You Know?

Were Mary's the first eyes you saw
Or did You remember choosing that shade of brown?
Were You surprised at the shepherd's crazy story
Or did You know You wrote the song the angels sang?

What was this life like for You?

Did You know?
Did the cross cast its shadow o'er your cradle?
Did You know?
Did You shudder each time Your hammer struck a nail?
Did you know?
How much heaven and how much earth
Were in this baby at His birth?
Did you know? Or did you wonder?

Did you remember the brightness of Your glory Or did You just notice it was cold and dark here?
Did You know Your name or did you have to be told?

Were You just a baby or were You as old as time?

What was Your life like?



***Can you imagine? Can you imagine what that baby knew upon His birth? Can you imagine if that 10 year old was preparing Himself for what was to come? I can't imagine...but how humbling and awe-inspiring. Close your eyes and breathe in each word from Mr. Agnew's song. Let His love overwhelm you this week. Maybe we can't know what His life was like but we can know what His life was for...it was for you and it was for me and I love Him wholly and completely for it...let us be an example of that overwhelming love...because we DO know!
