 The legend of the Holly
When Christ was born in Bethlehem
on that first Christmas night,
a barren bush outside the stable
blossomed full and bright.
It bore a grim reminder
at the crown he'd one day wear;
it's prickly leaves foretold the thorns
of sorrow He would bear.
Amidst the green there grew strange fruit
with small berries scarlet red,
as crimson as the very blood
our Savior was to shed.
In honor of the Prince of Peace
a flower pure and white,
blossomed sweetly when the Lord was born
that holy Christmas night.
