When He came that starlit moment,
Long ago that holy night,
Many wondrous gifts were given,
Filling us with hope and light.
Dewdrops on a leaf He noticed,
Or an insect on a stem.
He sensed people's needs and knew
Precisely when was touched, His hem.
Can we love as Jesus loved?
Can we comfort, soothe and heal?
Can we be the gentle ones who
Care how other people feel?
Jairus came in tears and pleaded
For his only daughter's life.
Jesus felt his spirit, full of
Pain that pierced Him like a knife.
When they said the girl was dead
He gently told them not to weep.
He could sense her child-like spirit
And He woke her from her sleep.
Can we love as Jesus loved?
Can we comfort, soothe and heal?
Can we be the gentle ones who
Care how other people feel?
