Epiphany's Stars!

SANCTUARY

STARS

To all my friends
I cannot see,
I'll pray for you
On bended knee

Christmastide,
At stable's side,
Where Christ the King
Once did abide.

Amidst the stench
Of creatures, low,
Yet star above
Sent down its glow.

First Sanctuary light,
Bold thing,
A beacon for
The hidden King.

And when bad men
Snuff earthly light,
Stars are born
To light the night.

That's why He put the stars,
So much,
Up in the sky
Where men can't touch.

For candled flames,
Men can bring low,
Sanctuary stars
Won't lose their glow.

So at each stable,
Be not forlorn,
If bad men say
"He was not born!"

Look up, O, man,
The sky is flooded...
With Sanctuary light
Sanctuary-star studded!
