“Why do…the peoples plot in vain?” says Psalm two
The Lord and His Anointed One the leaders try to outdo
From heaven, the Lord scoffs and rebukes them all
For His King on Zion – the holy hill - God did install
“You are my Son…and I [am] your Father,” God said
God will make “the nations [His] inheritance” instead
“Therefore, you kings, be wise [and] be warned”
For they should serve the Lord they once scorned
The Lord said to Jesus, according to Psalm one hundred ten
To “sit at [His] right hand” and rule over all earthly men
For on “the day of battle”, “[His] troops will be willing”
Jesus is a “priest forever”, thus old prophecies fulfilling
God “will crush kings on the day of His wrath”
For Jesus will always be found on God’s path
There have been many priests, per Hebrews seven
But only one lives forever, He was sent from heaven
“Therefore he is able to save completely” any person
“He lives to intercede for them” before their lives worsen
The birth of Jesus is briefly written about in Luke two
Joseph went to Bethlehem, for a census all had to do
He went with Mary, his betrothed who was expecting
She gave birth to her son in a stable without objecting
There were shepherds in the nearby fields with their flock
The glory of the Lord shone, and their knees did all knock
But an angel came and told them about the good news
That in Bethlehem had been born the King of the Jews
They were told to rejoice, for they were not in any danger
They would find Jesus wrapped in clothes lying in a manger
“After Jesus was born in Bethlehem,” per Matthew two
Magi from the east came, a star in the sky was the clue
The king of the Jews is who they wanted to worship
So they brought gifts with them on the very long trip
King Herod was disturbed; the Magi in secret he did call
They were to report back to him; his evil plans not to stall
The child they did find as to the star they did refer
They worshipped him with gold, incense, and myrrh
About Herod’s evil plot from a dream they did learn
So by another route to their country they did return
