The Spirit of Christmas 6 of 7

For nothing will be impossible with God
From before the ancient days before time and space,
in eternal past you beheld your Father’s face.
Infinity was your garment, your glory filled its place
with holiness, purity, the life, the light that darkness cannot trace.

Creator of all in righteousness all was made
from nothing you formed what God your Father bade.
Your ministering spirits rejoiced while in your power stayed
though a darkening appeared when some from your dominion strayed.

Man fails, the image of your glory shamefully marredPublish Post
moved by a slanderous blasphemer a hateful murderous bard.
A heart made for communion now empty and scarred
enslaved, darkened, dead, cold, and hard.

But you foreknew this wretched fallen state
moved by pure love to change man’s hopeless tortured fate.
Child born of woman who did not know her mate
to free those bound in dismal darkness hewn by heinous hate.

Infinity traded for a lowly human birth
a precious promised redeemer of priceless worth.
From darkness and hatred, light, love, and mirth
Saving those believing who humble themselves on earth.
