IS FOR NEWS

As the shepherds were watching the sheep lying down,

“Good News! Good News!” was spread all around.

The angels proclaimed it; the birth of the King.

“Let's go to Bethlehem and see this great thing.”

And suddenly there was with the angel

a multitude of the heavenly host praising God,

and saying, Glory to God in the highest,

and on earth peace, good will toward men.

And it came to pass, as the angels

were gone away from them into heaven,

the shepherds said one to another,

Let us now go even unto Bethlehem,

and see this thing which is come to pass,

which the Lord hath made known unto us.

And they came with haste,

and found Mary, and Joseph,

and the babe lying in a manger.

LUKE 2:13-16

Christ the one, hung the moon in it's place

Tonight he was born to the human race.

Mary looked down, fingers tiny, so small

How could my baby be the Savior of all?

LUKE 1:35

And the angel answered and said unto her,

The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee,

and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee:

 therefore also that holy thing which shall be

 born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

ABC'S OF CHRISTMAS - L IS FOR LINEAGE

L

IS FOR LINEAGE

Born of David's lineage, Jesus came forth,

The royal line was now set on course.

The genealogy was in line with the throne,

Our royal priest had come to atone.

So all the generations from

Abraham to David are

fourteen generations;

and from David until the

carrying away into Babylon

 are fourteen generations;

and from the carrying away

into Babylon unto Christ are

fourteen generations.

Now the birth of Jesus Christ

was on this wise:

When as his mother Mary

was espoused to Joseph,

before they came together,

she was found with child

of the Holy Ghost.

MATTHEW 1:17-18

which is Christ the Lord.

I

IS FOR INCARNATE

He was sent from the Father to show his love,

God incarnate from heaven above,

Fully God and fully man

He came to fulfill His eternal plan

And, behold, thou shalt

conceive in thy womb,

and bring forth a son, and shalt

call his name JESUS.

He shall be great, and shall be called

the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God

shall give unto him the throne

of his father David:

And he shall reign over the house of Jacob

for ever; and of his kingdom there

shall be no end.

Then said Mary unto the angel,

How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?

And the angel answered and said unto her,

The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee,

and the power of the Highest

shall overshadow thee:

therefore also that holy thing

which shall be born of thee

shall be called the Son of God.

H

IS FOR HEROD

Herod was king in the days of Christ’s birth,

The King of all Kings had threatened his turf.

He said, “I too shall worship this child,”

But deception in his heart was running wild.

And being warned of God in a dream

that they should not return to Herod,

 they departed into their own

country another way.

And when they were departed,

behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth

 to Joseph in a dream, saying,

Arise, and take the young

child and his mother,

and flee into Egypt,

and be thou there until I bring thee

word: for Herod will seek the

young child to destroy him.

MATTHEW 2:12-13
