31 Days of Christmas – Day #22

Quite a Little Baby

Quite a little baby in the hay,
Quite a little baby born that day.
Quite a little baby, don’t you say?
Jesus Christ, the Lord.

With His hands He made the world and hung the moon and stars. He held the water and land and then He made them stand apart. Then with His hands He filled the sea with fish and living things. He painted leaves on all the trees and caused the birds to sing.
That’s quite a little baby.

With His hands He made a man who lived and breathed and stood, and as God looked at all He’d done, He whispered, “It is very good.” But Satan came to war with God and caused the fall of man. Redemption came in human form that first Christmas night in Bethlehem.
That’s quite a little baby in the hay.

But He didn’t come just to be born; He came to live on earth, the perfect Son of man. He showed the world His Father’s love with holy, helping hands. He healed the sick, and He fed the poor while His fame spread through the land. His name was loved and His work was known, because of His two hands.
That’s quite a little baby born that day.

Then one day, those in power came and took Him from His own. They led Him to a rugged hill where a cross would be His throne. He spoke to them forgiving words, “Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.”
That’s quite a little baby, don’t you say?

And finally, when they pierced Him in the side, to prove how much He still loved them all, He spread His hands out wide, and died.

Quite a little baby in the hay,
Quite a little baby born that day.
Quite a little baby, don’t you say?
Jesus Christ, the Lord!

(John 10:10-11)
