I don’t know you
And you don’t know me
We have a mutual friend you see
He told me to tell you Help is on the way
He is coming to help if you are Troubled
He will lovingly lift you out of the Rubble
If everything is going good and you love everyone
Look above and count your Blessings
Name them one by one
He will laugh and cry with us
And take care of all our needs
We will follow whoever HE leads
You will know him when he arrives
His love will dwell up in your heart
Our Friend Is God who made you and me
HE will live within us never more to part

When Joseph and Mary returned home
They were neighbors of ours
My mother said we should see them
And take some flowers
As we came to the house, there was something different
I cannot explain
It smelled like fresh falling rain
They welcomed us inside
So proud of their son
They told of their journey with great excitement
And how it had begun
Mary said God sent us this son for a great purpose on earth
We have no idea of his great worth
As I turned and saw the smile on this baby’s face
I could not contain myself
I ran all over the place
My mother told me to calm down, or we would have to go
She did not want me to disturb this baby, that had such a glow
As we were about to leave,
I turned to look and saw that face
I will never forget The love and grace
Many years have passed
But I can still see Baby Jesus's Face
