Come and listen to Debbie Boone sing one of my favorite Christmas carols since childhood when I listened to my parents' records in their living room, just letting the miracle of Jesus' coming at Christmas 'happen' to me, as I gazed at the manger scene. Jesus came to me every year this way. Please take the time to gaze at the manger this year, and let Him come into your heart.
Enjoy these pictures of beautiful children who all made their versions of Alice's take along manger, reflecting their vision of the "Saviour whom we kneel beside".
Some children see Him lily white,
the baby Jesus born this night,
Some children see Him lily white,
with tresses soft and fair.
Some children see Him almond-eyed,
The Saviour whom we kneel beside,
Some children see Him almond-eyed,
With skin of yellow hue.
Some children see Him dark as they
Sweet Mary's child to whom we pray,
Some children see Him dark as they,
and, ah they love Him too!
The children in each different place,
Will see the baby Jesus' face,
Like theirs, but bright with Heavenly Grace,
And filled with holy light.
Oh, lay aside each earthly thing,
And with your heart as offering,
Come worship now, the infant King,
His love was born this night.
