O Little Town

“And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born. So they said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea.’” Mt2.4 NKJV

O little town,
How little did we understand,
How great your gift would be to man,
How God delights in the small thing,
How a shepherd boy can be made a King.
O little town,
How little did we know,
How His birth a seed would sow, then grow and grow.
How the kingdom of God would come to earth,
How conquering love was expressed in His birth.
O little town!
How great is your might
How precious and bright is your light, in our night.
How peace is sown into our world of war,
How hearts are transforming on every shore.

O little town!
