One Star
One Star
Glistening amidst
A dark ocean awash
In navy blue
It was a night truly
With pure holiness imbued
Dare I speak of such
A precious light,
This blazing star
Known by and followed
By three wisest men
From afar
To find a ruler foretold
In their sacred writings of old
So, in their wisdom
They left behind everything
For just one glance
Of His Majesty, a newborn King!
To dirty, dusty Bethlehem
They went on that darkest night
And in a manger’s stall
They heard his first cries, bawls
Saw a mother reach to comfort
A tiny infant’s tears
Whose small hand would grow
Be nailed to a cross
To banish all men’s fears
Of sin & death forever
Their privilege was to
Witness a royal birth
Of these two lights,
One above,
The other,
Eternity’s Love
Flung down to save all
On God’s good earth!!
