Star light… Star bright…First star I see tonight

Deep in the dark… creation is humming

A light has come… the light is coming

A light has come… the light is coming… at 299,792,458 minute per second

A light has come… the light is coming

Light is energy

Its waves and rays greeting us with a bright sunny face

Light speeds and spreads covering everything it touches

It breaks… it illuminates… and it captivates it

It stimulates the senses and eliminates the dark

It fascinates the children… and generates a spark

It shines … and without it we’re blind

Literally… it is only when light enters our eye that are finally able to see you

You see… we as people living in a darkness need a great light

So it’s no wonder then that out of all the things he could have chosen to create ...

God said: Let there be light .. right?

So in the middle of the night…

When the angel appears to the shepherd’s fright… do not be afraid

Just follow the light

Star light … star bright

First son is born tonight … to the Virgin Mother …

The brother of James who uttered, wondered, and suffered under other blunders

To uncover a love for each other and the father …

And the sun shining so brightly that it’s only right we called in the light of the world

This light was broken and spread to covering every sin that he touched

Illuminating the truth … captivating our attention … and generating our tomorrow

So … let this be a Sun ... that the mind can see … that the water is wine…

That the Roman are free … and his light will shine into every crack brokenness

Super memory arises in the bubble through the prism of his cries

Behold … a drummer boy for Glory’s home coming

And Iggy all succumbing to the light that has come …

And the light that has coming

Here we are … the season is here
There is joy all around, everyone’s filled with cheer
It all seems so perfect, as we await a man and his reindeer
It’s no wonder it is called, the most wonderful time of the year
We see joy in the lives of all those around
People’s eyes seem to twinkle like the lights throughout town
Snowmen stand tall in the yards of so many
As you move through the town spending a pretty penny
You see… Christmas is great, and the happiness it brings
But you can’t shake one question, “Has it become more about things?”
Santa, snowmen, stockings, and more!
The inadequate feeling that comes from your neighbour’s décor.
You’ve actually heard there’s a reason for the season we’re in
That some baby was born … that would one day die for you sin
What a comical crux that these Christians believe
That this baby would be the greatest gift you could ever receive?
The baby a saviour ... Ha! I don’t believe it
I’m mature in my years, keep your crutch I don’t need it
Why would a God come in such vulnerable form?
A baby in a manger ... what an awful platform
But this baby, he does seem to bring people joy
I don’t understand how all of this comes from a small boy
But I come to the church every Christmas and some Sundays too
And I must admit, what they say does seem to ring true
They say come as you are, and see what God has done
Clearly speaking of someone else because I am not the one
I know my past, my sin and my current struggle
Me put together? My life parallels an unfinished puzzle
But it never seems to fail that this time of year
This little baby seems to bring Christmas cheer
And the church tells stories of all that he has done
His forgiveness, his love, how he has overcome
They say who I am no is what makes grace so amazing
To lift up my yes! Enough of the naval gazing
To set my sights on the God of the universe
Who began as a baby in a manger and gave a git we could never reimburse
And what is best of all is that Christmas is just chapter one
To the sage of the saviour who has already won
We rejoice in this baby because it’s just the beginning
His narrative reveals that he’ll die for our sinning
So enjoy your Christmas and the festivities around you
Because the creator of the world he created those too
But don’t stop for a moment and worship creating as greater
But roll past the created and worship the creator!
Who came to this earth in the most vulnerable fashion
We will never comprehend the depth of his compassion
A baby in a manger born of a virgin teenager
An unlikely hero that wouldn’t shake by danger
They’d mock him and flog him and put him on a cross
But this baby in the manger, he wouldn’t count it as loss
It was for the sake of our souls, because he knows that your worth
Ant his is exactly why on Christmas we celebrate His birth
So Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night
But be sure that on this Christmas, you’re shining His Light.
