IF I WERE TO BE JESUS

IF I WERE TO BE JESUS

If I were to be Jesus, how will I be born?

I would certainly be born in a palace, on a very beautiful baby cot

25^th December, well – is not a bad idea

Who will give birth to me?

Certainly a very great and rich king and queen

Then I can truly be the Prince of Peace

 

What will be the signs that precede my birth?

The star and wise men is not a bad idea

The angels and the shepherd thing, well, maybe the whole heavens filled with angels and bright lights

Then the whole world will know that a great bay is born

 

Who will come and visit me on my birthday?

Well, great kings and queens, the wise men for sure, all who are well to do

 

What kind of gifts do I want?

Gold, frankincense and myrrh, certainly a nice one

I could use more Lego, more honourable gifts

 

I guess I kind of sound a little selfish

But here I see a baby boy in a manger

And visited by wise men and shepherds with their sheep … ouch

Anyone could come and see him

And His greatest gift, was you and me

Because He died for me

A man born with so much humility

A man who brought into my life serenity

I will love him to my last breath

 

Maybe I could not be Jesus,

I am His brother

We may not have the same mother

But sure, we have the same Father

I will forever remember His birth

And cherish it like it is worth

Man came to God by His death

God came to man by His birth
