Refugee Christmas

Jill Gooding

Mary and Joseph were refugeesFleeing from hatred and fear.They sought God’s protection for safety and careFor the sweet promised child they held dear, For Herod had vowed to murder all babes Who might threaten his kingship and reign.But Joseph obeyed the guidance of GodWhom he trusted their lives to maintain.They fled into Egypt for shelter and peaceAnd found there a refuge secure: From brutality’s tyranny, hatred, and greed, God’s guidance was clear and so sure.
