I saw the stars, but tonight,
They looked a little dimmer when You took centre stage
What a way to make an entrance
Disguising yourself in mortality
Just so you could relate to our pain
Leaving the glamour of your glorious chambers
To share a room with the same creatures
Your voice fabricated on the genesis of day 6
I saw the Star, and He never begged for attention
Rather, we were the ones gravitating towards
This inevitable attraction and Boy did it make Herod mad!
Pacing the floors of his artificial throne room
Like a devastated tiger at the bottom of the food chain
So terrified of the idea of a King above all kings
That he sat out to assassinate a baby
Who did not have to campaign to win
I saw the Star, and He was dressed in meekness
Zipped eternal light under the coat of flesh and veins
The roaring Lion of Judah with the resemblance of a Lamb who was slain
Out of all hotels from which you could have booked your stay
You availed yourself to a city That did not avail much to the standards of men
How humble of you to choose the womb of your child
To be pushed out as a child for the salvation of all your children
It feels good to be your Kid and to my sibling I ask:
Have you ever met a Man who fears no evil yet makes evil fear him?
Makes your cup run so over you wouldn’t manage to swim?
Carries your burdens like light weights at the gym?
Jehovah Yahweh is his better known synonym
Like oil is to an engine, his love keeps me alive
I am called to overcome and not simply survive
And since faith is Now, allow me to change tenses
I see the Star, and His name is Jesus
