Enjoy this poem from Amanda Krause.
The stars have faltered,
Their twinkling stilled.
This pitch-black darkness
Too long has filled
The skies above me,
My heart, my soul;
I'm lost, held captive,
No way to console.
“Be still, in wonder,
Do not be afraid.”
As this darkness plagues me,
It obscures the true way.
Your promise still calls me
to hope for the day
When all prayers are answered
In your dawning light
The rising of wonder,
We behold this great sight:
The star o’er a manager,
The king as a babe,
The sun will soon rise
To the most glorious day
For on the horizon, a warm winter glow
Soft incandescence, a glimmer of hope
The sun’s rays are shining,
A break in the dark,
Jesus has come now, so open your heart,
Step out of the night, there’s new light from above
For hope, joy and peace,
And Emmanuel’s Love.
