You came from the world beyond and dwelled with men.
High above the heavens lie your glory,
Yet you forfeit all those for our sake.
You could have chosen an Eden for your birth
Yet you chose to be born in a manger.
You came as a man but men were incomparable.
They say, think globally, act locally;
And this seems only to point back to your being;
For your thoughts surpasses heavens
And your life was down to earth.
You could have made your ministry noble;
Yet you chose only ordinary men for extraordinary purposes.
You used the unqualified to qualify them.
You did not worry about the support from your family or hometown
Knowing that doing the will of your Father was the peak.
Indeed your ways and thoughts are higher,
For you do things differently from man.
Who can understand your sovereign plan;
Unless one submit to your divine will
And live their life in obedience to your Word.
(Jesus Christ, the reason for the season.
Wishing you all Merry Christmas)
