The Stable Is Our Heart

Posted by Lucinda S. Sutton on December 01, 2021

Into the Darkest Hour

It was a time like this,
war & tumult of war,
a horror in the air.

Hungry yawned the abyss –
and yet there came the star
and the child most wonderfully there.

 It was a time like this
of fear & lust for power,
license & greed and blight –
and yet the Prince of bliss came into the darkest hour
in quiet & silent light.

 And in a time like this
how celebrate his birth
when all things fall apart?

Ah! Wonderful it is:
with no room on the earth,
the stable is our heart.

 

Light of the Stable by Selah
