Love In a Manger

Beneath the twilight soars bright shooting stars,   * 
r a d i a n t  hues in cosmic fantasy-                  *    *         
I bask in the midst of soft dreams afar,                 *   
sun sets in the west with  v i t a l i t y.                   *    *
                                                                       *   
Inside the  c o r e  of the solar system,
I’m overwhelmed by heavens gentle view-
I start to feel the Lord's warmth and wisdom, 
my eyesight stunned and my soul made  a n e w.

I fall to my knees and bow down to Him, 
as I  b a t h e  in the bliss of salvation-
I retreat and whisper an adored hymn, 
breathe in  r e l a x a t i o n  of creation.

To earth, mother nature's beauty was no stranger-
but the FATHER birthed love in a  m a n g e r.
