One Starry Night
based upon Luke 2
by Kathe Matthews
It was a cold and starry night
Nothing but sky was in their sight
When suddenly out of the blue
Down from heaven an angel flew
He illuminated the sky
His brilliance and voice cried
“Glory to God in the highest”
A Word from the Holy Mightiest
The shepherds collapsed on their knees
All movements among them ceased
Their arms and legs trembled and shook
As they tried to take a good look
“Don’t be afraid” the angel said
“The Savior was born in a manger bed
Go and see that my words are true
Your life will change and be brand new”
The shepherds rushed to go and see
Baby Jesus on bended knee
Along the way their hearts soared
As to their Savior they moved toward
They saw Him as the angel had told
Reassuring and making them bold
To tell everyone in their sight
The Good News of Jesus, the True Light
This is the message we are to hear
That Jesus, our Savior, is near
May this Good News transform your heart
To you, His mercy and grace impart
