A Danish Lutheran minister just announced  that what happened that night in Bethlehem
didn´t really happen, it was all but a myth, but still a good one you may feel something good about!

But the Bible says, “It came to pass….”  (Luke 2:1).  In Latin it says, “Faktum est…”  (i.e. it is a fact!)

My friend, the gospel is no dream
nor what  some poets write
within some thinkers´ futile scheme
at daybreak or by night!

Salvation is not what you feel
like any fairy tale
that can´t your sinful conscience heal,
for it´s of  no avail!

Yet some deny the gospel facts,
they say, “It is not so!
When someone, though, on feelings acts,
that´s all he has to know!”

“The fairy tale may give you joy,
the gospel myth may too,
its made-up fiction can´t destroy
what feelings do to you!”

Lo, thus their lies they softly tell,
but liars they remain,
their doom will be eternal hell,
that´s all what they will gain!

O, preach the facts, not what you feel,
your solid Rock is Christ,
what else can to your soul appeal
than what He sacrificed?
