In Those Days

In those days
  a decree went out
    to all creation
     that everyone
      and everything
        should look
to an obscure village
belonging to Judea.

All and everything,
   heavenly host,
    Gabriel and company,
      grandstand witnesses,
        stars and moon,
          rocks and trees,
all one great chorus
ready to sing praises.

Throughout the ages,
  praise from them,
   praise from us,
     every one of us,
       saints and sinners,
         even me, even you,
waiting to loudly shout,
"Glory to God in the highest!"
