My Christmas Testimony

It’s true. I know

What happened in that village long ago—

How one bright star did light the way

To where the infant Christ Child lay,

So humbly in His bed of hay.

It’s true. I know—

Because the holy scriptures tell me so—

Of angels’ music in the air,

Of Babe and mother sweet and fair,

And shepherds sent to find them there.

It’s true. I know.

The Holy Ghost has whispered that it’s so,

That Jesus, born that holy night,

Has filled the world with truth and light

And showed us how to live what’s right.

I know. Oh, yes! I know!
