They all were looking for a king
To slay their foes and lift them high
There camst this little baby thing
That made a woman cry.
All the way through the gospels, people were asking Jesus for a sign. As the Lord refused the devil at his temptations in the wilderness, again and again he refused to give the people what they wanted. Little did they know that before their very eyes was the sign incarnated. The word had become flesh. The word dwelt among them. Like the old song puts it: "Sweet little Jesus boy, we didn't know who you wuz."
