Vulnerable as a babe in all fragility
On a star struck night in all tranquility
Did the Christ child come in all simplicity
Incarnate Word in a manger born
Sent by God to a world forlorn
Only to have his body on a cross torn
Yet rose again on a resurrection morn
Jesus the wisdom from above
Shed his blood to show his love
Baptized in the Spirit by the dove
Touched the leper without a glove
Who would imagine God would show
His truth to the world by a transfiguration glow
On the face of Christ did the Anointing flow
With healing and peace to the weak and low
Incarnate wisdom for all to see
Hung by nails on a wooden tree
Removing the sin and setting us free
In his flesh the human and divine agree
And as a babe came for you and me
This Christmas set your heart on fire
By reading his word to inspire
Lifting you out of the muck and mire
To raise you up higher and higher
To overcome death and the funeral pyre
Ask Jesus into your heart
amen
