The Changing of the Watch
The prophets looked ahead and held a watch so true.
To see His incarnation that would soon come into view.
The single star announced His birth, with the angels, just a few.
To the shepherds on the hillside who would soon be watching too.
The disciples watched His life, and His death upon the cross,
And saw the resurrection as hope for pain of loss.
They watched as He ascended into the heavens hazy blue,
Jesus to the Father, who had given life anew.
Now the watch continues as we await for Christ’s return.
The questions that’s remaining...will your watch be as true?

Merry Christmas!
