Christmas gift

A child has been born for us, a son has been given to us, and the government is on His shoulders. 
He is called Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6 (PM Version)

A child has been born to us, & for us, 
a son's been given to humanity, 
and the government is on His shoulders.
He's called Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty

God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince 
of Peace, with all the pieces brought to gath-
-er as does a hen call to all it's chicks
and shelter them that so they may life have,

even if she loses her own quite quick.
The mother clucking hen would loose her life
to a fox or fire, yet save each small chick.
Such governmental ways are not with knife,

but the rule of love which finds that it lays
new life very fragile into a nest,
and more protective than selfish, it pays
with it's life laid down to protect the rest.

What a "god" of a man must this ONE be(!)
who could use as symbol: lamb or mum-hen,
and ride, not on stalion but on donkey,
and look to eat some roadside fruit back then.

His rule was one of love & understanding
not domination that we normally see,
yet he doesn't baulk at strong comm-and-ing
of fever, tree, the stormy wind and sea,

as well as demon spirits/ parasites
on a person's life, he told them off strong.
And we are glad to "keep him in our sights"
to grow in us his good, save us from wrong!

(after Isaiah 9:6 PM Version) PW
