We are called, each one
to follow that star
that star, burning bright
from Bethlehem, from his birth,
his manger bed, the star guiding
the shepherds, the angels on high,
the wise men, traversing from the east
Like them, we are called by the light of the star
to change our ways, our paths, leading us
traveling, journeying, to the star,
with the star, burning, brightly
within us, when we welcome the babe
the Christ, the one whom John cried out for
crying in the wilderness,
into our lives, walking with him
the risen Lord, seated in triumph
coming again in victory,
the light, heralded by that heavenly star
