God's Given Son (A Christmas Poem)


God’s Given Son

 

Carol bells ring, songs relay

The Promise of old, Love on display

Mystery where judgment meets Grace

Hope offering, beyond mind’s grasp

Passion of Father so vast

Joy of heaven downward cast

Bound for altar of vile clay

Marred, deformed, crudely slain

For darkness to see the day.

Light shattering the tomb

Redemption conquering man’s doom

The Word glorified now through you.

How can it be that truth prevails

Through ones who pounded the nails

Of hate and scorn so plain

Yet Mercy of no end we find

Surrendering hearts, we join in line

Heaven’s audience of joy’s Divine.

Bonds and chains and time undone

As praise resounds “Oh Worthy One,”

To Jesus Christ, God’s given Son .
