Where is the Manger?

Where is the Manger?
By Rev. Dean Beaty 12/1/09
Luke 2:7 “And she brought forth her firstborn son,
and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him
in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.” (KJV)

I saw a scene that troubled me,
Of many gifts beneath a tree.
And underneath those gifts galore,
A manger scene was covered o'er.

It struck a bitter cord within,
That I believe is a great sin.
There was no room when Christ was born.
Nor is there now this Christmas morn.

Room for gifts and family friends,
Partying that never ends.
Even laws are past today,
To take the manger scene away.

“Merry Christmas,” is a vice.
“But please buy our merchandise.
We can scorn your God, you see,
By simply saying, it's P.C.”

We're just as wrong, who claim His name,
When He's not first in our acclaim.
Don't bury Christ beneath the tree,
For by His blood we are set free.*

*I John 1:7 “But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light,
we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus
Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.” (KJV)
