The Star

"It's hard to believe but the news is true.
The choice is made, and they picked you.
From all the stars who wanted to go,
you are the one who will brightly show
the way to Bethlehem."

"How can it be that they chose me!
I'm not convinced I can really be
bright enough to show the way
to the place where Mary and Joseph stay.
What if I burn out!"

"Calm down, my friend.  You'll shine just fine.
Your light is strong.  You'll be the sign 
to guide the world to that special place
so everyone can see the face
of love in a manger stall.

"Now, get some rest.  The time draws hear.
Lay out your course and have no fear
for you are picked from all the rest,
undoubtedly the very best,
to guide the world to him.

"And, by the way, when you look down
on the sleepy little village town,
shine softly on his gentle face,
hold him in a sweet embrace,
and say hello for me."
