he was a king

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you have had as great of a Christmas as I have!  I hope you have the merriest day ever, and a great New Year as well!
he could've been a powerful king

queen for a mother, a great leader for a father

celebrations with streamers and gifts

kings and queens and dukes would come from all around

just for a baby

for the heir for the kingdom

he could've been a powerful king

heir to great power

education worthy of a scholar

so much knowledge at his fingertips

he could've been a powerful king

born in a warm room

with medicine and doctors and nurses

with great care and ease


yes, he could've been a

rich
powerful

abundant

king

but he wasn't

he was something better

he was a king

he had a virgin for a mother

a young girl born without sin

a carpenter for a father

someone who loved his wife

even though the child wasn't his

people traveled from all around to see him

kings and shepherds

they too, brought gifts of

gold, frankincense and myrrh
just for a baby

for the heir for a kingdom

the kingdom of God

he was a king

heir to spiritual greatness

his knowledge was beyond any scholar

and he was just a simple boy

he was a king

born in a humble stable

love greater than anyone could ever give

ready for him as he entered the world

he was a king

he's our king

not of a earthly kingdom
but of our hearts

All through Christ,
