An Angel of God Spoke to a King

An angel of God spoke to a King.
Declaring great joy and glad tidings.
For on a day not too far distant.
The Lord as a child would make His descent.
Tabernacled in clay, He shall serve.
All manner of diseases, His to cure.
And evil spirits, will be cast out-
Though He'll be falsely accused, by those in doubt.


Even more than man can suffer,
He'll know temptations, thirst and hunger.
And bear anguish pressed through every pore.
As He feels all the weight of what we need Him for.
That salvation might come unto men
Through the remission of all their sins.
Through faith and repentance on His name.
We can be atoned for and found without blame.
