These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

A Way in a Manger

"I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
I'm born within a stall.
I come to take away your strife
to give you Hope by call."

The Way was born in a manger low
to give salvation full.
He says the Word by Him is so.
Your heart draws by His pull.

The Way in borrowed manger born
above the cross at first.
He mended rift that Adam had torn
when He said at last, "I thirst."

The Way became a road for man
to take us back to God.
Salvation is his everlasting Plan.
His Gift we aye applaud.

A Way in a manger, a stable, His home.
The stars in the sky were shouting, "He's come!"
The cattle were lowing, "The Savior is here."
I love thee, Lord Jesus. Your love is so clear.
