~The Nativity Scene~

Outside a Church on a cold winter's night
There is a Nativity Scene, underneath a bright light
In the cold, trying to tell a wonderful story, you see
The true meaning of Christmas it tells to you and me

Many years ago, in the Bible we're told
God sent His Son on this earth to behold
He sent Him to Mary to have as her son
She knew before He was born,
 this babe was Gods chosen One

As Mary and Joseph on this long journey went
She got very weary and tired carrying the One
 God had sent
So they tried to find a room at the inn
No rooms were left, a night in the hay they would spend

Born on that night was a little baby boy
His name was Jesus, He brought them much joy
Wrapped in swaddling clothes was the little Christ child
And put in the manger to rest for a while

God sent angels to watch over Him
Keeping them safe was His plan for them
There came three wise men, traveling from afar
To worship the Child born, they were led by a star

This is the start as unfolds the story
Of a Savior sent to earth from His place in Glory
The true meaning of Christmas seen on a
cold winter's night
The blessed Nativity Scene underneath a bright light
