He came so far, to come so near to us. Love would not rest until it brought Him here to us.

Songs of the angels had filled the sky, but, they weren't as sweet as the Baby's cry.

How could we measure the mercy our minds couldn't understand? The One that all heaven had worshiped was trusted to human hands.

The angels must have missed Him as they sang Him to sleep. But they marveled at the promises this Baby came to keep.

She rocked her tiny Baby to warm Him from the cold. Hardly what she pictured in the prophecies of old.

'Cause when those trials come, my human nature shouts the thing to do; and God's soft prompting can be easily ignored.

But it goes against the way I am to put my human nature down and let the Spirit take control of all I do.

Thank You Lord, for the trials that come my way. In that way i can grow each day as I let You lead.
