GOD IN MAN

In life's innermost shrine was built a place

An unseen sanctuary, a womb filled with Grace

From out of the deep, simple yet sublime

The Son of man was conceived in the fullness of time.

He came into a cursed world to be born in travail

To the trauma of mortality as he crossed the natal veil.

A simple birth, a holy plan

Heaven in Earth and God in man.

At this scene that sanctifies the earth, wise men bow at the lowly shrine.

Stunned by wonder at the sight- a glimpse of love divine.

The one who spoke the ages lies with all his undreamed dreams

This mystery of God in Flesh proves nothing is as it seems...
