To know Him we must be like Him
Born humbly into a new life
Into an old animal shed
A clean, yet humble livestock barn
Perfect beginnings for a life Christ-led
From fleshly beds of discontent
To beds of straw we now lay
Simple beds of contentment and joy
As our Saviour laid on that first Christmas day
Trading old lives of confusion and strife
For new lives of simplicity
Turning from sin, and looking ahead
With goals of Christlike purity
‘Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord?
‘And who may stand in His holy place?’*
Clean hands, pure hearts
Seek ye fully His holy face!
Wrapped in cloths of truth
Laid in a manger of grace
Quietly animals low
Born again into His perfect grace
To know Him we must be like Him
