THE COMING

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!
