No Ordinary Baby

No Ordinary Baby

He was born in an ordinary stable,
and then laid in a manger lowly.
Who would ever have suspected
He was actually Someone holy?

He did not wear a kingly crown
and was clothed in pauper’s garment.
Such a plain and ordinary setting
for a Gift that was Heaven sent.

People gazed upon His young mother,
her lovely face reflecting her joy.
She knew there was nothing ordinary
about her tiny newborn boy.

The young mother knew the true origin
of the Babe entrusted to her care.
Jesus would never really belong to her.
He was a gift for mankind to share.

He came to us as an ordinary man
born of the most humble birth.
Who would ever have imagined
He came to serve and save the earth?
