Christmas Poetry

A Little Hole in Heaven

A little hole in heaven
Opened up that Christmas day
When Jesus Son of God
Came to earth as a little babe

When He left His throne above
He traveled through that hole
A host of angels followed
And one His story told

He told it to some shepherds
Out in the field that night
They trembled at the Angel
For he shone with heavenly light

He told them that a Savior
Was born in Bethlehem
The full angelic choir sang
The shepherds went to greet Him

That hole let out the brilliant light
That surged from Jesus throne
It looked as if a giant star
Above the manger shone

Three kings from far off countries
Saw the brilliant star so bright
They set off on a journey
With gifts for the promised child

Yes a little hole in heaven
Opened up that Christmas night
Through it came our Savior
Coming down to give us Light

He shone the Light from heaven
So that we could see our sin
Then He died as our redeemer
If our hearts would now repent

Open up your heart to Jesus
On this blessed Christmas day
He came down from heaven’s glory
So He could light your way

Have You Seen the Star

Have you seen the star
Have you bowed in awe
Have you traveled far
From your sin

Have you given gold
All the world beholds
So that you can hold
Onto Him

Has the frankincense
Cleansed you from your sin
Are you born again
A priest for Him

Has the myrrh applied
From yourself to die
Giving up your life
All for Him

Have you seen the star
Has it changed your life
Come to Jesus now
And be saved


Extraordinary Day

It’s not ordinary at all
What happened that day
When heaven came down
In a manger to lay

Angels came singing
To shepherds alone
Kings came from far
As the brightest star shone

Mother and father
Had traveled so far
To find the inn full
Underneath that star

Bet both of them knew
That this special day
The Savior was born
To take sin away

Yet the kept quiet
About their sons fate
He didn’t come too soon
And He was not late

The time was just right
And today we see
That Jesus redeems
Both you and me

Let’s never forget
That extraordinary day
When heaven came down
And in a manger lay

He Came to Die

At Christmas time we celebrate
The Birthday of our Lord
Born this day in Bethlehem
A stable His abode

Shepherds came to greet Him
For an angel told them where
They bowed before the little child
While Mary looked on there

He grew and started preaching
Repent for God is nigh
He healed all that would come to Him
He taught them with no lies

His message made the rulers made
The planned to take His life
But He knew all about their plans
The prophets all were right

We celebrate His birth today
And rightfully we should
But more important is the fact
He came to die for you

His purpose from the very start
Was to give His life away
Please don’t forget the price He paid
On this Christmas day

Christmas Cheer

It’s once again that time of year
When we ring out our Christmas cheer
We sing the songs of Jesus birth
Declaring Him through all the earth

Hark the Herald angels sing
Hear the bells oh hear them ring
O come oh come Emmanuel
A silent night for all to tell

Far away in manger lay
What child is this who sleeps in hay
Three great kings come from afar
Joy to the world beneath that star

We’ve heard angels from on high
Little town of Bethlehem sighs
Come all ye faithful raise your voice
Come let us adore our Lord

In all these songs we give Him praise
For He our sin has far erased
This Christmas time I hope you know
The reason for the seasons show

Let Christ be lifted high above
Tell all your friends of His great love
That He would leave His royal throne
To come to earth and die alone
Christmas Poetry

This Night

This night is a holy night.  
With the star shining brightly in the sky
Where the child lay
This night is a holy night.
For the spirit of God has come to stay
In a stable filled with hay.
It’s a Holy Night

This star is a holy star.
Shining so brightly in the sky
There to light the way
This star is a holy star.
Giving light to Mary’s newborn babe
He has come the world to save.
It’s a Holy Star.

All of heaven rejoices, singing hallelujah
Emmanuel has come to earth
Angels ring in His coming on this glorious day
The son of God has come to save

This child is a holy child.
The angels proclaim His lowly birth
To shepherds in the field
This child is a holy child.
Kings bearing gifts come from afar
And they kneel before the child.
He’s a Holy Child.

Lift up your voice and sing praise to the newborn king
Good will to man and peace on earth He brings
Join with the chorus as angels sing
Praises to the King. Sing praises to the King!

All of heaven rejoices, singing hallelujah
Emmanuel has come to earth
Angels ring in His coming on this glorious day
The son of God has come to save

Chosen Star

I look up at the stars
And I see the Master’s plan
He placed them one by one
Before our time began

All down through the ages
Those stars have shown their light
Always in formation
To guide us in the night

Then one night, a change was seen
One star was singled out
To shine much brighter than the rest
A loud celestial shout

On brightest star, Oh chosen star
You shine your glorious light
To lead us all to Christ the King
On this most Holy night

This star then found its special place
To shine those brighter rays
It took its place above a town
Where God’s own Son was laid

Three kings had seen the star so bright
From lands so far away
They came to bring gifts to the child
In a manger filled with hay

Gold, because He’s royalty
As priest, the Frankincense
Myrrh, anointing for His death
Which would be so intense

On brightest star, Oh chosen star
You shine your glorious light
To lead us all to Christ the King
On this most Holy night









He Came Down

Down from above
Bringing His love
The Savior came on Christmas day
Babe in the hay
Quiet He lay
While angels proclaimed His praise

Shepherds rejoiced
They heard Angels voice
To Bethlehem they made their way
Bowing in honor
Glory forever
To Jesus who came as a babe

He came down to save us
He came down to free us
From sweet little babe
To sacrifice made
He came down and gave us His grace

I cannot imagine
His love I can’t fathom
That He would give up His throne
His birth was obscure
His life was a blur
Only three years was this earth His home

From lowly beginning
To triumphant King
He had to give all he had
His death on the cross
Was such a great loss
But victory came in the end

He came down to save us
He came down to free us
From sweet little babe
To sacrifice made
He came down and gave us His grace

Emmanuel
God with us
The form of a babe
The Lord of Lords lay
Ready to redeem us all

He came down to save us
He came down to free us
From sweet little babe
To sacrifice made
He came down and gave us His grace

Ponder These Things

Lord of the Heavens
Seated on the right hand of God
Four and twenty elders worshipping
Sing glory and honor and power and might
To the King of Kings and Lord of Lords
Exalted above all others
Since the beginning of time
Glorious and majestic
Full of awe and wonder
All things created by Him
All things created for Him
Beautiful beyond description
More precious than silver or gold
Merciful and gracious
Longsuffering and full of goodness
Worthy of all praise
Son of the most high God
Holy is He
King of heaven and earth
Left His heavenly place
Left the splendor and the glory
Left the right hand of God
Left His Father
Left His power and authority
Left His throne
To come to this earth
Disrobed of His glory
Clothed in rags
A baby in a manger
No honor bestowed Him
No welcome of royalty
But animals in the stable
A star announcing His birth
Brightly shines above the city
Wise men from afar witness the star
They start their journey
Angels announcing His birth to shepherds
Not to kings
Sing glory to God in the Highest
Say the Savior, Christ the Lord, has come
As a babe in as manger
Beckon the shepherds to go and see
They come and tell Mary their tale
And bow before the King of Kings
Little baby in the hay
Mary ponders these things in her heart
We should so ponder these things
His humility
His love
His sacrifice
All for us
All for you
All for me
