[Stylist] question about wording in line of my acrostic poem in progress

[jlastar at comcast.net]

Hello,

Does "bow to" or "laid below" sound better as in more specific?

Word of Father humbly breathed divine life into silent night, kings laid
below Holy infant with frankincense, gold, and myrrh, shepherds proclaimed
birth, angels announced "Glory to God in the highest"

Emmanuel walked with His sheep through valleys, protected Elisha from large
army surrounding city with chariots during darkness, showed prophet's
servant chariots of fire, multitude of  heavenly mightiest

 

Thank you,
