- photo by Susan PageI wish I were the star that sparkled
So brightly in the sky that night
To show the Shepherds where to find Him
The babe, Emmanuel, the Lord of Light

Or maybe I would be the manger
That functioned as a cradle bed
I’d be so proud to be the vessel
Where baby Jesus laid His head

Perhaps I’d be an awestruck Shepherd
Who heard the Heavenly Choir sing
I’d sprint so quickly to the stable
To see and worship Christ the King

If not a Shepherd, then a Magi
Who travelled far to find the One
The Promise given to a Nation
Christ Jesus, God’s Beloved Son

Yet I’ve a part within this story
To seek and worship Christ each day
For Jesus came to earth to save us
And that is why it’s Christmas Day
