The Bethlehem Star

An oasis in the desert
Living Water at Christianity Oasis

John 7:38  He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said,
out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

Quench your thirsty soul!
An oasis in the desert

The Bethlehem Star

The Bethlehem Star

The Bethlehem Star

Star light, star bright,
see the star that gleams tonight?
Star that shines o'er manger bed -
light that haloes His sweet head?
Shepherds heard the angels sing,
"Son of God ... come ... praise the King."
The lamb remarked, "Look at Him there!
What is that light that shines so fair
around the bed on which he lay -
a manger crib, upon the hay?
Could it be ... is this the One
who comes to earth as God's own Son?"
"Well, this I know," the cow replied,
"that soon, and when the time is right,
the Promised One will then appear
to bring salvation far and near.
But do you think that God would choose
to bring the world this blessed news
from Bethlehem, a winter's morn' -
and in this humble place be born?"
The donkey said, "From what I've heard,
it's written in God's Holy Word -
the Child, although from lowly birth,
will one day reign o'er all the earth.
I do believe He is the one -
the Savior of the world - God's Son!"
And as they wondered at the sight,
they heard the angels sing that night,
"Glory to God for His great Gift -
let all mankind their praises lift.
And, peace on earth, good will toward men,
O little town of Bethlehem!
