A-Poem-a-Day Until Christmas...
SPOTLESS
LITTLE LAMBS
Before their
drowsy eyes, during watch, last night
some shepherds
witnessed a startling sight—
The sky came
alight! There were fluttering wings
hallelujahs and so
many splendored things!
Angelic hosts
proclaimed Our Messiah’s birth
with “Fear not!”
and “Glorias” and joyful mirth,
so this morning
from that field in Bethlehem
they set off to
laud the Infant Son of HaShem[1].
Without defect or
blemish, the shepherd’s pride,
spotless little
lambs trotted close by their side.
When the shepherds
and sheep came to the birthplace
Mary and Joseph
welcomed them, face to face.
Each shepherd
bowed down before the Lamb of God;
the lambs drew
close to Him, but that wasn’t odd
for there was a
link that united them all
in God’s marvelous
plan to save the world.
All of the lambs were destined for
sacrifice—
the spotless wooly
lambs and God’s Lamb, the Christ!
We’re grateful for
the LOVE of the great I AM;
Atonement’s
achieved at the Cross of His Lamb!
