A Sign in the Sky
One dark, lonely night
Something very bizarre -
A sign shining so bright,
Drawing people from afar.
Shepherds in the field
Blown out of their mind
By thousands of angels singing
"Good News to all mankind!"
Can you imagine the shock and the awe
God must have thought it funny, what He saw...
Making so many angels appear suddenly
To share with all living creatures a bit of His glee!
It heralded the humble, yet royal birth
Of the King who is coming to rule the earth.
He left for a while, but don't make a mistake -
He's coming again, all things new to make!
Born into this broken world,
Accursed and ignored,
He gave Himself freely,
To see humanity restored.
He came not with bloodshed,
Nor violence, nor gore,
But rather, a tender baby -
So Him we could adore!
"No room in the inn", that's what they said
If only they had known who needed a bed...
Just like people now, who are too busy, life so hectic,
To realize who He is, this God who is lovesick.
So look to the Star that shone in the night;
It points to the One who makes all things right.
To creation unsuspecting, to humanity unaware,
The greatest gift was given: Jesus, God's own Son - the Rightful Heir!
Merry Christmas! :)
How blessed we are...
