The Shepherd Star Oh, the breeze that sailed across that fragrant desert eve to sweep my eyes beyond the flock the night I first believed. Silver hues rained down on me from the Eastern Star on high Singing, “Nay, shall you now delay. the Christ is born tonight!” Bethlehem lay silently beneath the Shepherd Star that hurried me to the manger’s side and kept a stable from the dark. Once there I beheld a mother’s eyes gleaming at her son, while this father that did not father him loved Him as his Son. They welcomed me into their fold if only for the night amidst the beasts and the Christ who gave the world His light. Gold, frankincense and precious myrrh showered upon the child by magi fallen upon their knees As He slept so tender and mild. And upon their knees the magi sang in the tiny stable there, their voices raised, their hands held high, they filled the evening air. Hallelujah! Immanuel! Our precious Savior sworn, Prince of Peace, Son of God Christ the King is born! Copyright, Kevin V. Reese, 2005 |
