We celebrate every Christmas the birth of Christ. But, i always end up thinking about Easter when ever I sing carols and read Luke. Jesus Christ was born to free us from our sins. He was the perfect sacrifice. Jesus has many names, (and rightly so), but one that is particular catching in this season is His name "Lamb".
Last night, my father was reading us Luke, and, however it happened, the song 'Mary had a Little Lamb' came to mind. It's really funny, in the Christmas story, Mary did have a little lamb...and His fleece was WHITE AS SNOW. What does this song remind you of?
Merry Christmas everyone.
Mary had a little lamb,
Little lamb, little lamb,
Mary had a little lamb,
Its fleece was white as snow
Everywhere that Mary went,
Mary went, Mary went,
Everywhere that Mary went
The lamb was sure to go
It followed her to school one day
School one day, school one day
It followed her to school one day
Which was against the rules.
(O,k...sorry. Had to but in right here. Does this remind anyone of our schools in this Country?)
It made the children laugh and play,
Laugh and play, laugh and play,
It made the children laugh and play
To see a lamb at school
And so the teacher turned it out,
Turned it out, turned it out,
And so the teacher turned it out,
But still it lingered near
(hmmmm...)
And waited patiently about,
Patiently about, patiently about,
And waited patiently about
Till Mary did appear
"Why does the lamb love Mary so?"
Love Mary so? Love Mary so?
"Why does the lamb love Mary so?"
The eager children cry
"Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know."
Loves the lamb, you know, loves the lamb, you know
"Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know."
The teacher did reply
(this part isn't quite right. Jesus, our Lamb, first loved us. But the rest of the song is pretty cool! It could be taken though, as Mary believed in Jesus.)
