I WASN'T THERE

A few years ago, Melodye, a very special lady, the wife of our retired pastor, sent me this poem...


I WASN'T THERE WHEN CHRIST WAS BORN

I did not see the virgin birth
and yet I know it's true.
The things of God are acts of faith
when we are born anew.

I did not hear the angels sing
that night in Bethlehem,
Nor was I there when Magi came
to bring their gifts to Him.

Within my heart I know it's true
that Christ is God's own Son,
for He has warmed my cold, cold heart
by things He has done.

I wasn't there when Christ was born
and yet He knew my name!
God sent His Son into the world
and we've never been the same.
