The Stars Were Bright That Night
The stars shone bright that night
As the moon stood over the little town,
A breeze caused the men to shiver
As sheep drank at a near-by river,
Sheep are not normally considered smart
However, they follow the shepherds lead,
The long day had come to its end
The flock were now settled,
All around there was not a sound
When, from heaven a light shone around,
“Do not be afraid”
The voice was clear and firm,
Angels brought a message of great joy
Directing shepherds to a newborn boy,
“He will save his people from their sin”
Words the world was in need of hearing,
Messiah’s coming had been foretold
Shepherds knew the stories of old,
They left their watch that night
Eager to see the one the angels spoke of,
Shepherds were the first to greet him
Jesus, born to save us from our sin.
2010 John Joseph Fox.
