They Marveled

.
When the angels did say to the Shepherds
   in the city of David, the Christ is born,
They marveled.

When the shepherds went and saw Him,
   when they went and told the world,
They marveled.

When Mary and Joseph brought Him forth,
   when Simeon and Anna first saw Christ,
They marveled.

When Jesus said He fulfilled old prophecy,
   before Satan poured wrath on Nazareth,
They marveled.

When demons cried out in a loud voice,
   when Jesus spoke boldly at Capernaum,
They marveled.

When Jesus told Peter let down your nets,
   when the catch almost sank his boat,
They marveled.

When Jesus told the storm to be still,
   when the disciples thought they'd drown,
They marveled.

When Jesus healed a man's kept son,
   whom Jesus's disciples could not heal,
They marveled.

When Jesus said He would be betrayed,
   when He said it would be of His own,
They marveled.

When Jesus cast out a mute's demon,
   when the mute man then spoke,
They marveled.

When avoiding the priest's crafty trap,
   when He said give to Caesar what is his,
They marveled.

When others ran to see Jesus' tomb,
   when for sure they found it empty,
They marveled.

And when Jesus appeared to His own,
   when they saw His hands and feet,
They marveled.
