Poetry
Shepherd stares into the sky
Humming an ancient lullaby:
Anthem for One who was to be
Christ, to set his people free.
Bleary eyes straining to find
Omen or pledge of any kind;
A weary soul needing to know
End to every hurt and woe.
Surely, the time must be near
When Messiah would appear
And conquering o’er evil’s reign
Day of victory proclaim!
Christmas came that night.
Stars were shining bright.
Angels singing from on high,
“Behold, Your Savior is nigh!”
Christmas came that day
To all who watched and prayed.
No more longing for the night,
Heaven’s gates were opened wide.
Christmas came to all,
Each one, large and small;
Anyone who will believe
Christmas will receive.
Restless child cannot find sleep
But through the dark his vigil keeps,
Hoping to find with morning light
A blessing happened overnight.
All the waiting for this day
Has driven sweet rest far away.
After days of restless waiting,
Dreaming, anticipating
Now the promised time is here
And child-like heart is full of cheer
Ready to accept with eagerness
As by Father’s love he’s blest.
Christmas came that night.
Stars were shining bright.
Angels singing from on high,
“Behold your Savior is nigh!”
Christmas came that day
To all who watched and prayed.
No more longing for the light,
Heaven’s gates were opened wide.
Christmas came to all
Each one, large and small;
Anyone who will believe,
Christmas will receive.
Faithful one, still waiting now
Redeemer will fulfill His vow,
“Surely, I will come again.”.
He will rid this world of sin.
Countless years may come and go,
But in our hearts we always know
That as He rose and went away,
Jesus shall return some day.
Though the world is filled with night
And warriors weary from the fight,
We will never turn away in fear
Messiah is almost here!
Christ will come one night;
Outshining stars light,
Angels singing from on high,
“Behold your Savior is nigh!”
Christ will come that day
To all who watch and pray.
No more longing for the light,
Heaven’s gates are open wide!
Christ will come for all,
Each one, large and small;
Anyone who will believe,
Christmas will receive.
