A, "Scelf" is a Scottish term for a splinter of wood a carpenter often gets, piercing his hands whilst working .

Scelf's In His Fingers

With scelf's in his fingers ,a child is born Stabled ,loved and torn A carpenter to the scorn This King among Kings This Shepard of man With a crown that's made of thorn We washed our hands Yet drank his blood On many a Christmas morn

This child of Heavens mood Was sent for all of mankind's good To wash our sins if he could Then start afresh tomorrow Being incumbent to his sorrow

We crucified this humble man Who came to us with Heavens plan To heal the sick and embrace the poor And leave our conscience at the door

To find a path that paves the way Where all gods children have a say To live in peace and harmony To love thy neighbor as does he

You can see it if you look above The star that outshines all of us , A special star and shinning dove It's shining now with Christmas love
