CHRISTMAS WAS A SACRED DAY

Kristina Ramirez Jordan

This was the first poem I wrote. It was written when I was in the 7th grade as part of a writing contest for my Junior High School. It was awarded an honorable mention and more importantly started my love for gospel poetry and writing:

Christmas was a sacred day, when Christ laid His head upon the hay

When Christ our Savior came to stay

Upon the earth to toil and pray

Christmas was a sacred day, when Christ laid His head upon the hay

Christmas was a sacred day when Jesus came

The angels happy, how they sang

The joy so great, that how the heavens rang

Christmas was a sacred day when Jesus came

Christmas was a sacred day when Christ came down as a Child

The shepherds came to see Him there

He was the child so meek and mild

Christmas was a sacred day when Christ came down as a Child

Christmas is a sacred day for all who know the way

The joy and meaning of that Holy day

When Christ came and laid His head upon the hay

Yes, Christmas is a sacred day
