Poem for The Nativity of our Lord Luke 2:1-20

Praise to the Lord on High

who is born

among us

A child helpless and wrapped

in the loving embrace of newness

Glory to God in the Highest

with the Praise going to all the earth

and from all of creation

That we may rejoice

not in greatness

------ far off there

by here

------ among us

The Lord God who created all

come as one for us all

The Birth of the Christ Child has come

The Birth of the Messiah

who will

lead the people

You and I

on to love

------ (Victory over death)

on to life

as the one laying here

so innocent

Feel the shadow of the cross

in the night

The angels know

and sing of this one

so innocent

who will save us all
