The Bethlehem Candle

An ancient Prophecy foretold the Messiah’s birthplace,

Bethlehem was a little town that took up but a little space.

How could the great Messiah be born in a place like that?

Just a few believed in this prophecy; oh, how very sad!

The Bethlehem Candle is lit to remind us of the power of God,

Prophecy is a special promise that will be fulfilled by the Lord.

The word of God was meant to be a light to help us be strong,

If we keep faith and stay focused, in our heart there will be a song.

How the Messiah would be born in Bethlehem is a story to be told,

God had to do many things, each and every piece added to the whole.

Caesar had to order a census to be taken; Mary and Joseph had to report,

They had to travel all the way to Bethlehem, their names must be on record.

In a manger cold and bare, the beloved Messiah would begin God’s plan,

He would offer salvation, full and free, and it would be for every man.

The Bethlehem’s Candle reminds us that God would always fulfil His word,

There is no need to remain in darkness of unbelief- that would be absurd!
