Freda's Garden:

Welcome to my Garden:
Merry Christmas to all of you!

A KING IN A MANGER
A baby in a manger
Came to save mankind,
Not a warrior king
That the people had in mind.

A lowly, humble, carpenter,
Who ate with men of common birth,
Scorned by the rich,
Who thought he had no worth.

He came helpless, in a manger,
Died, nailed to a tree.
He did not fit the profile
Of what they thought he should be.

He defied the haughty intellect,
Saw through their hypocrisy.
He was to them a paradox,
A servant king? That could not be!

So, they failed to see the power
Behind the humble man.
A king born in a manger?
This they could not understand.

When our dreams are not fulfilled
And our plans have gone astray,
Do we fail to see a Savior...
In the babe born on Christmas Day?
