The
Keeper missed it all!
It
was a busy time, you knowWith weary travelers needing rest
The Inn was full, he did his best.
The
knock seemed out of place!
“No
vacancy” was clear to allThere was no room left anywhere
For Nazareth folk for him to share.
A noise was heard next door!
The lowing sheep and cattle stall
Was found to be the only place
For God's dear Son to find a space.
The
Virgin soon gave birth
Upon
a dirty stable floorThe Baby's cry was heard that night
While angels bathed the earth in light.
The
Keeper missed it all!
The
promised King had come to earth!Had he but known, would he have shared
Some little space? Would he have cared?
Yet
Christmas comes again
And
yuletide music fills the airStop long enough to hear His voice
He knocks and waits! Make Him your choice.
