Some people look,
but they don’t see
the gift God sent
to set them free.
They see a manger,
but not the Savior
they see a Babe
but not God’s favor.
They see a Boy,
but not the King of Kings
they see a Child
but not the hope He brings.
They see the Wise Men,
but not the Prince of Peace
they see the Shepherds
but not God's love released.
Some people look,
into the manger
but they only see . . .
Jesus as a stranger!
Luke 2:12
“And this shall be a sign unto you;
Ye shall find the babe wrapped
in swaddling clothes,
lying in a manger.”
