From Isaiah 9:2: “The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who lived in a land of deep darkness—on them light has shined.”
World stumbling in darkness
God’s promises breathe truth
Shining cosmos bright light
Love’s descendant of Ruth
Heavy, burdensome tasks
Father sees mankind’s plight
Living life without joy
Heavens glow with His light
Son of God, born to us
Wonderful, Prince of Peace
Coming King, righteous reign
Never shall His light cease
Heavenly host praises
Angelic chorus sings
Kneeling shepherds humbled
From Bethlehem, light brings
Emmanuel’s new hope
God with us evermore
Turning darkness away
Light upon mercy’s door
From Isaiah 9:6: “For a child has been born for us, a son given to us; authority rests upon His shoulders, and He is named Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”

Vickie, I appreciate your encouragement. I have given thought to publishing a book with my best and favorite poems. There is certainly a large enough inventory of Christian ones to work with.
