Finding Shelter – v2

Mary and Joseph
strangers, journeying
in his ancestral lands
Finding shelter
a humble stable
alone and tired
a feeding trough
their baby’s bed
Under the light
his natal star
angels sang
shepherds came
sent to his throne
bowing, kneeling
beside his make-shift crib
worshiping the Messiah
the babe, born to set us free
born to save us from our sin

changing the spelling from “worshipped” to “worshiped”,
because Blogger and Twitter said “worshipped” is a misspelling.
