HEBREWS 1:8 - BABY BORN TO BE KING

Baby Born to be King

By Susie Hale, February 10, 1983

A long time ago in Bethlehem

A tiny Babe was born,

The King of kings and Lord of lords

On earth in mortal form.

What did it mean for Christ to come

To walk on earth as man?

And what is the significance

Of this part of God’s plan?

I’ve often thought it interesting

That Christ came as a child,

A little, tiny baby,

Helpless, meek and mild.

But since He came in just that way,

I know He understands

Every small frustration

Of living as a man.

He understands the growing pains

Of our own little ones

Although when He was twelve years old,

He knows just how it feels

To go through difficult teen years.

He knows the loss of friends through death.

He knew pain, and he cried tears.

My Jesus knew temptation

And yet remained sin-free.

He was the perfect sacrifice

Who died for you and me.

So, we celebrate each year

The coming of our King.

Because He came with love for us,

His praises we will sing.
