I saw God’s salvation in a crib
In Hindsford church
The Bambino in the straw
And shepherds gathered round him
Ox and ass there too
Mary and Joseph
I looked on them in awe
So this is God they tell me
Born in poverty
Born as one of us
Long time ago
It looks so very cosy
The mystery of light
Born amidst the darkness
Of the night
I then saw God’s salvation
In a lamp
That spoke of ever present
At my side
And housed in tabernacle
The bread of life for me
Located here
In my locality
I saw God’s salvation
In a story
Stations of the Cross
Around the wall
If this is the love of God
If this is how to live
God grant me grace
For Christmas Cross and all
