THE BRIGHTEST STAR
Long ago, way up in the sky. The stars were shining way up high.
One star shined especially bright, for it was filled with great delight.
For a new Babe was lying in the hay, and He would save the world someday!
Suddenly, an angel flew past, and he was flying very fast.
He said to the shepherds, “The Savior is born! He’s lying in a manger, cozy and warm.
Go and see Him and spread the great joy, about the birth of this baby Boy!”
“How do we find this heavenly Babe,” the shepherds asked, “who’s asleep in the hay?”
The angel replied, “Do not delay, the brightest star will guide your way.”
The star was so happy, and knew it would show, and lit up the sky with an angelic glow.
From up in the sky, way down to the ground, it shined the way for the Babe to be found,
Creating a glow on the Savior’s face, and the glorious event that had just taken place.
The shepherds followed the light of the star, to worship the Babe in a land so far.
As time went by, others wanted to know why the star had such a Heavenly glow.
The news of the birth spread wide and far, soon others began to follow the star.
Then, one day its job was done. The world now knew of the Heavenly Son.
Jesus had come to be their light. So, it went back to shining only at night.
