A Sign to the World


I look to the sky
And think of that night
A bright evening hue
Lit in glorious light

A sign to the world
Of the Love of God
A heavenly veil unfurled
Proclaiming peace to all

What would I do
If I’d looked up that night
Would I question its worth
Or rejoice in delight?

Would I the wonder deride
And go on my way
Or put concern aside
To share with a friend?

The best answer I know
But would I do it?
Do I have the courage to show
What should be done?

The world, it laughs at me
But still I must go on
To show them what I see
Despite the difficulties

As the shepherds of old
I must witness the glory
Then go to my friends
To share this great story

I am not forgotten
For He has come to earth
God’s only begotten
My hope and salvation!
