The Stable
First Witnesses
Little donkey in the stable
Do you hear the angels singing
to the shepherds, who are hearing
of the love that He is bringing
from a manger filled with hay.
Gentle oxen in the stable
do you see the star that’s shining
to lead the shepherds and the three kings
as they come to the Messiah
in a manger filled with hay.
Little lamb in the stable
Do you feel his Holy presence ?
as the shepherds flock to see him
a gift of God, He’s our Salvation
Bless this manger filled with hay.
He gives us our first breath
We give him our last breath
His name is the Truth, the Life , the Way
Emmanuel- God with us.

“So it was, that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid. Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger.” And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying: “Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!” So it was, when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, that the shepherds said to one another, “Let us now go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us.” And they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the Babe lying in a manger. Now when they had seen Him, they made widely known the saying which was told them concerning this Child. And all those who heard it marveled at those things which were told them by the shepherds. But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart. Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told them.”
Luke 2:6-20 NKJV
