Jesus
God in the flesh
To earth come down.
Arrives as a baby
The world to astound.
Grows up to manhood
To be like us all,
Yet never stoops to
The sin of the “fall.”
The Son of the Father,
Savior and God.
Our friend and example,
Judge and rod.
Man of miracles
Wisdom divine—
Of inspiration and
Supernatural signs.
How could you come
As a tiny child?
How could a king be
So gentle, so mild?
Humility mixed
With a royal task
Gave you honor,
Made your kingdom last.
Truth embodied
God let us see.
Yet, able to laugh,
To cry, to bleed.
Wonderful paradox:
This man is LORD.
Begging us choose:
Disbelieve or adore?
