Dust and Deity

You may think grand thoughts of God

You may speak grand words of God

In poetry- or philosophy

A mere abstraction he’ll remain

"Til incarnation makes him plain-

an actuality- that You can touch and see...

The universe is changed by the event

And changed forever by the blessed advent

by sheer force of his integrity

He plowed a path to eternity

Through death and hell and back to his home

He made a way for all his own.

Your redemption has arrived

God is made manifest

On the plane where we all live

By this baby we are blessed

When dust and deity were made one

The wisdom of the word became a son.

Anthony Foster
