Baby In A Basket

There on the church steps was a basket with a note.
in it was a baby dressed warm, wearing a winter coat.

He had to lay there all alone,
who his parents were, unknown

Everyone left the Church, the doors were locked,
everyone that passed by, hadn't noticed the box.

It had turned out to be a very chilly night,
the wind picked up causing such a fright.

The baby was hungry and began to cry,
an angel heard him while passing by.

The angel covered him with his wings
and then quietly he began to sing

Little baby please don't you cry
I'm here singing you a lullaby.

I will keep you safe here tonight
go to sleep until morning light.

God had sent someone their way,
Pastor left his Bible there today.

He quickly ran over, heard baby cry,
picked him up, tears were in his eyes.

The baby became their son
for their hearts the baby won.
