HAPPY ADVENT DAY 8!! On this rainy Saturday morning!
THE OX KNEW HIS MASTER
Isa.1:3 – An ox knows its owner, and a donkey its master’s manger, but Israel does not know, My people do not understand.
The ox knew his master
The donkey knew his home
The sheep bowed in reverence These beasts would never roam
The Creator born among them Their feeding trough for His birth Just a manger and a stable
To cloak heaven’s priceless worth
Nothing could be stranger
Who could ever ever understand The drama was now unfolding Creator God had become a man
The angels they were singing Their voices piercing the sky The heavens were announcing This Infant King was born to die
Eternal drama was performing Before an ox and a lamb
Eternal generation quite astounding From a virgin comes a Man
