Bethlehem Ephrathah the smallest of every clan <br />as prophesied out of you has come the long promised Man. <br />Now no more is the sun required to lighten up each day <br />The Everlasting Light of heaven illuminates our way. <br /> <br />Days of sorrow have ended and the days of joy begin <br />through walls of Salvation and gates of Praise I've entered in. <br />Eternal Light from heaven is now shining upon me <br />For the Light of the Glory of God in Your face I see. <br /> <br />(additional background information is provided in the Poem's story box below)<br /><br />Roy Allen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/today-the-everlasting-light/
