When Will It Happen?

“When will it happen?”

I asked my Father,

As I watched from the heavens above.

“When will I see this great thing,

This holy act of love?”

My Father smiled and said, “In time,

For, my beloved child, can’t you see?

Because of His birth and life,

You too can become like me.”

“When will I see it?”

I asked my Father,

As I looked from the endless skies.

“When shall I know

That because of His love,

The holy Savior dies?”

My Father smiled and said, “Look down

At the things that must come to be.

For, according to this one Atonement,

You too can become like me.”

“When is it time?”

I questioned my Father,

As I waited to play my part.

“When will it be my special turn

To serve Thee with all my heart?”

My Father smiled and said, “My dear child,

Can you not already see?

I have opened a way for you and all others

That ye may become like me.”

Jesus’s Birth

Jesus was born in Bethlehem,

Born to be the King of men.

In the manger there He lay,

Soft and cozy on the hay.

By the cattle He was near,

Filled with glory, bringing cheer.

Angels sang a pretty song,

While the bells rang ding-dong.
