The King of Christmas

A King with no castle, no money, no throne.
A King with no palace that he could call home.
A King with no weapons, no army, no crown.
A King born by starlight in Bethlehem town.

A King whom the angels called Saviour and Lord.
A King whom the shepherds and wise men adored.
A King who was laid in a manger at birth.
A King with no kingdom to rule while on earth.

A King who would serve, who refused to be served.
A King who declined the acclaim he deserved.
A King who is humble, a King who is kind.
A King offering peace unto all humankind.

King Jesus, whose star has not ceased to shed light,
the King born of Mary that first Christmas night.
