I wish I had been there at the Savior's birth....
as the angels sang and His Glory filled the earth.
I wish I could have knelt beside His little bed....
and been able to touch His tiny sweet head.
How wonderful it would have been to see him as a man
to watch Him as his ministry began.
I would have liked to look into His eyes so pure and clear,
and listened to the wisdom of this man so dear.
I think of the day when on a donkey He rode into the city,
and with tears in His eyes ....He looked at Jerusalem with great pity.
In one week their praises would turn to scorn....
and God's plan would begin to reveal the purpose of His being born.
What sorrow I would feel in my heart,
If at that "Last supper" I'd taken part.
To sit and listen and partake and not understand....
That long ago all of this had been planned.
Would I have stayed at Jesus' side
when they arrested Him and had Him tried?
Beaten, mocked, and sentenced to die.....
Pronounced "Guilty" for the sins of you and I?
What pain I would feel as He stumbled up Calvary's road,
with the weight of the Cross and the sins of the world...
How my heart would pierce with pain and fear......
as his death grew more near and near.
I would hide my face to scream and wail,
to cover the sound of the pounding of each nail.
With tears in my eyes, I would look and see.....
That it was for my sins, and ......it should have been me!
Can you imagine being there on the third day at dawn,
the surprise and confusion to see Him gone?
Words cannot be expressed how it would be to see Him face to face.
I can only wonder what it would have been like at that time and place.
Now is the time to make your choice!
If you choose Christ, all the angels will rejoice.
Just open up your heart and let Him come in......
and He will cleanse your life from all it's sin!
