CHRISTMAS IS A BABY

Christmas is a baby in a smelly stall,

Jesus Christ is homeless, God who loves us all.

Christmas is a mother with a fiery care

For the spread of justice every one can share.

Christmas is a father sharing in the birth

Of a new-born infant, Child of sky and earth.

Christmas is tough shepherds,

wonder in their eyes,

Finding God Almighty in a baby's cries.

Christmas is wise scholars turning from their scrolls

To the greatest mystery: God which flesh enfolds.
