THE COMING
Lord...
You've come here to earth, to me
To all, in the form of a blessed child,
So small, yet more powerful than
The forces of the universe, and why not,
You made them...the stars, the planets,
The sources of their very existence, yet
Your form to man, so meek and mild
A servant. Teach us to comprehend,
To grasp, to understand...show us again
Your hands...your feet...your wounded
Side. Your love for us so pure, complete,
And whole, in your body...broken!
