Glimpsed at Church
Not a magic wand
But a brightly shining star –
A Savior is born.
Not a golden crown
But reflection of God’s light
Come to visit earth.
Not cast-off bathrobes
But coats for Judah’s shepherds
Soon to be the flock.
Not brightly wrapped gifts
But symbols of God, King, and
Sacrificial death.
Not childish voices
But angels from heaven sing
Glory allelu.
Not a great palace
But a manger where beasts dine
Cradles the true King.
Not with strong armies
But gentle humility
God sends His own Son.
