The Holy Family

A Nativity Prayer

By A. J. SchoenfeldPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read

This Christmas we set out

Our Nativity scene

With Joseph and Mary

And a Babe so serene

The Holy family

Stand in quiet vigil

Remind us of promises

Christ came to fulfill

He saved us from sin

Through His love and grace

He broke through the bonds

Of death's bitter taste

There are those that we miss

This year around our tree

Yet Christ broke the prison

So from death they'd be free

Together forever

Our family can be

Because of that Babe

Born to Mother Mary

So I set out my crèche

A scene frozen in time

A reminder of promised

Reunions sublime

And whisper a prayer

Of gratitude for the Babe

God sent to this Earth

My family to save
