Dust and Deity

You may think grand thoughts of God- you may speak grand words of God

A mere abstraction He'll remain 'til incarnation makes him plain

Not poetry or philosophy but an actuality that you can touch and see

The universe is changed by this event

Changed forevermore by this blessed advent

When dust and deity were made one

The wisdom of the Word became a Son.

By sheer force of His integrity

He plowed a path to eternity

Through death and hell and back to his home

Became the Way for all His own

So redemption has arrived on our mortal plane He is alive

God is made manifest so by this baby we are blessed.

When dust and deity were made one

The wisdom of the Word became a Son.
