Carol in the Works

Israel longed for her messiah
Mary had a baby boy
Wise men sought His shining star
God, a babe in Mary’s arms

Angels sang to shepherds sleeping
Glory in the highest
Who left their flocks a child to see
Glory, Hallelujah

[Repeating lines being those in Bold]

The stars of Heaven adorn His crown
Glory in the highest
His love and mercy know no bounds
Glory, Hallelujah

--Bridge--
Born a king
Born a pauper
Born to...
Born to suffer
God a babe in Mary's arms
Glory, Hallelujah

Authors note: Oh lucky you! I'll rarely add these...
Currently in the middle of a song-write; something i rarely do, in that actual lyrics are involved. I write lots of poetry but lyrics somehow come out hollow for me.. so I don't usually write them. Instead, I write lots of songs for guitar; instrumentals all, but never lyrics unless inspiration -- genuine inspiration -- plants it in my head. As is the case with a little Christmas Carol that opened up in my head like a flower as in one of those nature films. Not sure what I'll call it, but I'm sure that'll come at some point as well. It doesn't rhyme at all in the traditional sense, however. Any rhyme it does have is found only in it's repeating lines.

Each verse will have the same four repeating lines [Lines 2, 4, 6 & 8 respectively]. The inspiration came in those four lines. The preceeding lines are what's giving me trouble. And please note that the example above does not represent a finished verse. This Carol is still in it's infancy.
