Christmas 2007

In meditation by the seashore,
In the woods toward the creek,
In chapel gazing at the oak tree,
We marvel at Your birth.

The Creator of Creation,
The cause of all that is,
The source of all the goodness,
We marvel at the deed.

Enclosed in the womb of sweet Mary,
Our God who had it all,
Leaves His home and Godhead,
And rushes to our earth.
We ponder now the difference.

In a world which needs this story,
Does His birth change our lives?
It depends on hearts enclosing love,
Birthing Chrit's own peace to all.
We marvel at His Grace.
