A Precious Story ~ Joan Clifton Costner


A Precious Story


(Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas)

Come now, children, learn a precious story -
How the Christ Child came;
We were lost sheep struggling in an endless maze;
But the Lord looked down on us in mercy,
Chose a priceless plan:
He would give His All and buy us back again...
Mary, choosing to do His will -
Labored hard until...He came!
Even birthing the Son of God,
In a stable in the hay....
So God placed His Baby in a manger -
Told the shepherds why;
Then He hung a new star in the highest sky
To tell us He sent Jesus Christ to you and I....
(Back to bridge)
Now we tenderly say His name
Knowing ours to gain...the Prize!
And we walk with Him day by day,
Keep the Son shine in our eyes....
End with this:
We will love our Jesus Christ, our Savior
We will follow true,
Here’s our heart, Lord, how can we do more for You?
You sent us Your Son - You did all that You could do!
Or this:
Yes, He placed His ..Baby in a manger -
Told the shepherds why -
Hung a new star [high up] in the highest sky...
And told us He sent Jesus Christ to you and I....
