Analysis of The Christ Child



It was within a young virgins' womb
that the Child of God was given room.
Because Mary the angel believed
and through the Holy Spirit she conceived

The wise men came with their gifts of gold
from distant lands the Child to behold
For to us the Christ Child was given
to show us the way to get to heaven.

For this Child was the long promised One,
Who came to earth as Gods' Only Son.
This Christ Child she had given birth to
had come to earth to save me and you
