He slipped into the
world so quietly
That only shepherds in
their fields were told,
And just a handful knew
who He would be:
The one Messiah
prophets had foretold.
Oh, how the earth itself
did want to shout,
"The Savior's
here! Just look! He's in our midst!"
The animals and trees
could have cried out,
"The Lord of Lord
is born! He does exist!"
Creation, though it
strained to cheer with joy,
Was held in an abeyance
purposely,
For evil men would then
try to destroy
As Herod did when wise
men sought to see.
O earth, be quiet, do not shout and tell.
O universe, that time will come as well.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion:
for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of
thee.
Isaiah 12:6 KJV
