RHAPSODY IN BLUEGRASS - SATB
25
NARRATOR:
On clear cold nights, out in the country, sometimes you can see a million
stars shining like silver diamonds against the dark sky. It reminds you of the
greatness of God. So vast is the universe, you have to ask yourself, "Who
are we that God should even consider us His children? What love would
cause Him to give His very brightest star to be the light to our paths and a
lamp unto our way?"
In the days before
the
Messiah was born, there came a star rising in the
eastern sky. Just seeing its glimmer brought hope to the nation. Could the
time be drawing near when God would send His Morningstar? With each
passing year, they held tighter to their faith, and prayed with all their hearts
for the coming of jubilee.
I see Him, but not now; I behold Him, but not near; a star shall come forth
from Jacob. A scepter shall rise from Israel.
