A CHRISTmas Dream
I dreamed that I was presentOn that first Christmas EveWhen Heaven touched the earthTo change all hearts that dared believe.I watched in awe-struck wonderAs Bible events took place....The crowded Inn, the raptured lookEtched on the Virgin's face.
A hush fell on the stableOn this holy, holy night.Through the cracked roof streamed a haloOf a soft, cascading light.In the air rose a crescendoOf angelic voices sweetTo celebrate the momentWhen Mercy and Grace would meet.
Anticipation mounted as theHour of midnight passed.I wondered what the time wasAs expectancy amassed."The moment of Redemption, "Came the answer loud and clear."Lift up your heart to thank Him,For the Purchaser is here."
I trembled as the child came forth...As the King of Kings was born.As love reached out to touch my soulOn that first Christmas morn.In joyfulness and reverenceI bowed down...but still don't knowWas it a dream...or have I beenTo a Christmas long ago?
