THE HEAVENLY KING

Kathryn Neff Perry
Once upon that moon-lit night
The Shepherds gathered round
Waiting for a special birth
Not a single room was found

Joseph led the donkey
Mary was astride
Joseph hoped for more that night
Not a single room in site

While Shepherds kept their watch
On the stars they surely knew
A King was coming very soon
What more could they do?

The lowly oxen waited
They knew the time had come
Our Lord was in the Manager
He'd given us a Son

A time of great rejoicing
For Christians everywhere
The day our Lord was born
In the lowly manger there
