A Precious Little Baby - v2

A Precious Little Baby – v2

All of us, together, in the communion of the saints,
the believers, those who follow Christ’s Way,
like the shepherds, visitors from the East
we bow down to that precious little baby,
the King lay down in the manger bed
The boy, born of the virgin,
born to Joseph,
to Mary, given life
by the Spirit,
God within Him
the descending dove
at the River Jordan
Humbly we bow
sinners unworthy
of Your loving grace
at Your throne, your bed
Lamb of God, who shed His blood
come to us a second time, come to us again


And Joseph also went up from Galilee,
 from the city of Nazareth, to Judea,
to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem,
because he was of the house and lineage of David,
to be enrolled with Mary, his betrothed,
who was with child. And while they were there,
the time came for her to be delivered.
And she gave birth to her first-born son
and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and
 laid him in a manger, because there was
no place for them in the inn. Luke 2:4-7
