Fall Down and Worship

I have the wisdom of the East

Have studied the stars

Poured over the ancient scrolls

Made discoveries like thunderbolts.

But now I journey

With some learned friends

And the trip seems

“One-of-a-kind”.

A King is expected

The fates tremble with anticipation.

Even our desert mounts

Sense a change

As they plod and jangle

Over the miles.

The heavenlies show One Great Star

In unprecedented alignment.

We are onto something.

Gifts in hand.

David’s City comes into view.

The small house…the doting little mother.

The Child in precious simplicity.

We have found the Truth.

We fall down

And worship Him.

No longer able to stand

On our own two feet.


(Matthew 2: 11)
