Was this the child?

A winter night,
Quiet and calm;
A stable warmed
By animals.
A baby born
And wrapped in love,
And shepherds knelt
To worship.
Was this the child
Prophesied of old,
A Messiah and Savior
For the people?
Was this the child
Who would become
The King of Kings,
The Lord of Hosts?
Was this the child
Who would be nailed
To a cross
And die for us?
Was this the child
Who would atone for sin
And rise from the grave
So that all could live?
This is God’s son,
God’s gift to man.
How will we honor
And show our respect?
Kindness and love,
Worth more than myrrh,
Friendship more than frankincense,
Goodness more than gold.
What will we bring
To lay at his feet?
Now we all must ask,
Was this the child?
