Do You Ever Think About?
Do you ever think about how Mary felt
As she first saw her newborn son?
Did she glow in that precious moment
Or think of trials to come?
Do you ever think about how Joseph felt
As he first spoke Jesus’ name?
Do you think he saw a young carpenter
Or a man who would heal the lame?
Do you ever think about how the shepherds felt
When they first heard angels sing?
Do you think they said, “What a special night!”
Or hailed their infant king?
Do you ever think about how the wisemen felt
As they followed the star lit glow?
Do you think they talked about their travels
Or all the places He would go?
Do you ever think about how you feel
When you hear the Christmas Story?
Do you keep it to yourself
Or share God’s grace and glory?
Make this Christmas a special time
With everything you do.
Tell each and everyone you meet
What Jesus did for you.
