Jesus and The Donkey

I am the donkey who saw him born,
the son of God that Christmas morn
 
I was the Donkey, who kept him warm
I breathed upon his tiny form
 
I was the donkey who nosed the hay,
over his body where he lay
 
I was the donkey who stood between,
the crib and the door to be a screen
 
I was the donkey who stood all night
and watched the Holy star so bright
 
I was the donkey who saw shepherds come
with frozen breath and fingers numb
 
I was the donkey who saw Wise Kings
enter the stable with prescious things
 
I was the donkey who one dark night
bore him away with steps so light
 
I was the donkey, on me he rode
whilst fervant acclamations flowed
 
I was the donkey who quiet and still
watched him climb that steep hill 
and there to die
 
I was the donkey who saw him rise
and go to his Father and be glorified
 
I am the donkey who wears his cross,
on my back for all to see, Jesus has the Victory
