December 20

Sunday, December 20:  Luke 1:46-55

Dark night
Quiet flocks
Alert shepherds
A night like any other night. 

Bright light
Stirring sheep
Alarmed shepherds
A night unlike any night before 

Brilliant light
Proclaiming angel
“Good news of great joy:  A Savior is born; he is Christ the Lord!”
Exuberant shepherds
A night of joy!

 A song of angels
“Glory to God in the highest!”
A rush of shepherds to see the babe
A child unlike any other!
Go see the joy!

 Holy night
Blessed child
Adoring shepherds
The world is filled with JOY!
