A Light Burning in the Window – v2

Shining down on them

expectantly waiting, the coming

the birth of their child,

a Son foretold,

by prophets, by angels

A light burning in the window

falling on the expectant couple

the father, the mother

those called by the angels

Appointed by God

to birth our Savior

reminding us all

of His birth star

of God’s holy promise
