A Child's Song

Away In A Manger, is considered to be a sweet little song for children, but my friends there are a few lessons that we as adults could learn. This song is really a prayer. Look at some of the things that we should be sure to say to Jesus.

In verse two, I Love Thee, Lord Jesus... Those words should be continually said from our hearts. If we truly understand how despicable we really are and how Majestic He is, surely our hearts will swell with love for our Redeemer! We are unworthy creatures. He is Worthy of All of our love and adoration!


Verse three, A heartfelt prayer that we should echo... Be near me Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay, close by me forever... Isn't that what you want? I do! With all my heart I can say I want the Lord to be near me forever! It is precious to be able to commune with Jesus! Those times that He settles down so close and you know that you are in the presence of the God of the Universe, are just amazing! Thank You, Lord, for giving me the best gift, the gift of Freedom from ALL sin and uncleanness! I Love You, Jesus!
