It happened so long ago.
If it happened at all.
It makes a .}ice story
But is that all?
A Story?
Don't try to tell, me a virgin had a son by the Heavenly Spirit.
I'm not a fool, you know.
Don't tell me that three philosophers travelled hundreds of
miles just tosee a baby.
How gullible do you,wthink I am?
Don't try to tell me that some craxy shepherds actually saw
angels.
Get. real! This is the 20thcentury!
Yet, to you 1 say:
Mary brought forth the Son of the one true God
And laid him in a manger
Because there was no room in the inn.
And there were in the hills, shepherds
Tending their flocks by night
And lo1 An angel of the Lord appeared to them
Bringing news of a birth and a promise of peace
From the east came three wise men, following a star, with
gifts
Of gold, frankincense and myrrh.
And there with the cattle, donkeys and sheep
They all worshipped the baby
And. that :baby grew up and did a terrible thing
He loved. us.
So we crucified him;but we couldn't. kill him.
And He rose on the third day. And dared to love us again.
You're right. It's just a story.
But you're one of the main characters.
It happened so long ago
But it's still real today.
Jesus Christ.is` alive right now
And to .you,. I can say,
"It's no fairy. tale;''
