#18 – Who Came to the Manger?”

Who else came to the manger
on that great historic night?
Whose lives were touched with majesty
at such a heavenly sight?

It seems the only royalty there
was the baby in the manger.
To the wealthy and the powerful
he was a clear and present danger.

Besides the lowly animals
that would be nice for us to see
all the folks who gathered there
were common folks like you and me.

God didn’t choose the powerful
to experience this great gift
but to the down-and-outers
whose lives needed a big lift.
