This is re-posted from last December when we first wrote it. We want to post this as an annual tradition for our children and Christmas! God Bless You All!

“HEAVENLY STAR”
by Noah Eaton & Bill Charles

~~~~
Look upon the star crowning our tree
What is it that you see?
In the blink of an eye under His golden manger
Where Mary cradles our loving Saviour

A star shines down, with its brightness
My eyes see, as they gaze
Into the heavens, and into His place
A babe in swaddling clothes, to amaze

I see eyes that shine with light
A boy with a tender warm face
He talks to angels through the night
Comforting His holiness with billows of grace

Eyes of radiance, guiding in the night
A male child, to smile with His grace
Soft words spoken, to the halo above
Bathed with her glow, at His birthplace

I see meadows of hands laid before His presence
Murmuring in mirth and praise
Stars, tears, and frankincense
The greatest love begins to raise

Colors of many hands, to worship one
many gifts to give, to our king
all that you have spoken of
a love of enlightenment, absolving

Yes, I see His love when I glance at this star
In His unconditional love we are feathered
This blessing that shall never mar
Protecting us from every storm we’ve weathered

I see a love also Noah, from this heavenly star
Unconditional, as you have written
And a blessing, to be for always
Knowing, He will never abandon…
