From the voice that shook the heavens and the earth
From the mouth that spoke and all things were created
Now comes the tiny notes of a baby’s cry
The hands that stretched out the skies
And shaped Adam
Now tiny dimpled fingers that paw the air
The heart that saw beauty in every atom
And poured itself out upon the human race
Now beats erratically in a tiny breast
The eyes that saw past and future
Saw love rent by dark sin and life soaring in great salvation
Now stare in confusion at a mass of unknown shapes
Majesty, beauty and glory
Exchanged for swaddling cloths
Splendorous brilliant heaven
Exchanged for a squalid stable
So God becomes man
Such loss
Such a divesting
Such a belittling of all He is
Why?
For love
For me
For you
