Love came,
held safely within a gentle womb
All the truth, majesty,
and creativity of a living God
Poured into a tiny heart
Making a quiet entrance
in a dark and uninviting shack
Just one star shone anew
as a handful of people were brought
Led by angelic voices, and open hearts
A young mother
A faith-filled father
Men of wisdom who searched for truth
And a group of humble herdsmen
They came to bow before a new life
And acknowledge that the rescuer had arrived
That the Word of God had come alive
And that the extraordinary transformation
of heaven and earth had begun.
