A Slammin' Celebration
On that glorious eve,
shepherds in the field
fell to trembling knees,
witnessed with double-wide eyes
angels light up inky-dark skies
praising, singing and exalting
the swaddled, infant King,
born to blessed Jewish refugees,
hunted by Herod, the evil king
who feared the Child's sovereignty_
It was He, the Child
whom the magi deemed
the fullment of Biblical prophecy_
It was He, the Child
whom some people highly esteemed,
and others labeled a super-celebrity_
Alas, it was He, the Rabbi
some misguided souls regarded
as merely a teacher of morality.
But to us, He is the Messiah,
the Mighty Horn of Salvation__
Whose birthday is truly worthy
of a grand-slam celegration.
