I Was Just A Little Star

I was just a little star shining over Bethlehem that night
But by Gods love and awesome power He made me give such light.
Shining over stable and all within a marvellous scene unfolds
The greatest Gift from God to man
As foretold in Prophecies of old.

Mary looks upon the baby Jesus and Joseph kneels nearby
Oxen gently 'low' in stalls and Angels sing on high.
Celebrate our Saviour's birth as He in humble manger lays,
Only straw to keep Him warm and a Mother's loving gaze.

Shepherds came too that night carrying a little lamb
As they were told the glorious news in fields o'er Bethlehem's plain
They bowed their knee in wonder and marvelled at the sight
As far above I shone on Him
Their guide that wondrous night.

Kings came too a little later
With gifts  they hurried the baby to see
And though they were of Royal blood
To Jesus they bowed their knee.
I like to think that although I hadn't a gift to offer the Holy One
I shone that night with all my heart,
To welcome Gods own Son.
