A new babe has been born

Have you heard the good news?Well we won't have to shopFor this baby's new shoes.Three wise men are travelingWith treasures of oldThey're bringing him frankincenseMyrrh and goldWill the innkeeper charge himWill the babe have to payFor his night in the mangerAnd his crib in the hay?Dear God how could this kingSpend his first night on earthIn a setting so humbleAs this place of his birth?Or did your son want to teach usWhile saving our soulThat gaining earth's richesShould not be our goal.We pray can you tell usWhat gift can we bring?Do we really have anythingFit for a king?If you think it might please himWe'll bring kindness and thenTry to make peace on earthThrough good will to all men.Jacque PatrickTamaqua
