Poem based on Matthew 1:18-25 The Birth of Jesus Christ

Fear not

Broke into the darkness

Fear not

Into the night of doubt

Fear not

To take this one called blessed

Fear not

As the world is about to change unnoticed

For into this world will come

Not just a son

But the very God of creation

(Immanuel)

To be held by those rough hands

Loved

Kissed

Nurtured

By none other than

Fear not

You Joseph

And he took Mary into his home

And they had a son

And named him

(God with us)

Jesus
