A Universal City of Joy
Posted: December 27, 2009
The message of Christmas is the same in any language…
Anyone can understand
a baby's cry. In any land
a lexicon's not needed
for the language is the same.
And so it was when that one child
was born the night that Heaven smiled.
A baby cried and in that sound
the voice of God was heard.
In Holland, Haiti, Greece and Spain,
in Egypt, China and Bahrain
the Christmas message is the same.
In Christ, God speaks His heart.
Ironically that baby's cry
(from one whose mission was to die)
was not a scream of grief or pain.
It was the cry of joy.
Joy to the World, all nation's sing
and like the bells that chime and ring,
this joyful message needs no words.
That cry conveys God's love.
