The Bethlehem Star – edited – v2

Follow His star
the Star of the Messiah
all year long, the light marking
His life, come into the darkness,
this struggling earth
Let His light guide you
protect you on your walk,
on your journey, all your life
upon this earth.

All of our days, with Him, the Messiah,
walking with Him, guiding our steps
every step, every choice, as He would make
looking to His example, His life
sacrificial, agape love, humble
a Servant King, caring for the least, the last
watching over all, healing the lost
telling of the Father’s love
to all who would listen.

May we each, in our own way
follow that star, as the wise men did,
as the shepherds did, as the disciples,
the apostles, all the saints before us
bringing His light, carrying His light
witnessing to His light
wherever we go,
wherever we are called
to the ends of the earth.
