” Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.”
The Savior came to fallen men,
and women, girls and boys.
He came their hearts to ever win.
His mercy He employs.
The Lord of Glory left His Home,
became as small as babe
to change our hearts no more to roam,
our wants to fully shape.
The Seed was placed in virgin womb,
unhelped by human skill,
then later walked out from the tomb.
Unbarred by human will.
This virgin had no merit of
her own to give to Man.
For Mary needed God’s own love
to save her soul from sin.
The Son of God did man become
in greatest miracle.
He shaped His body as the Son.
Creation’s greatest, full.
Immanuel means “God with us”
or God He’d never be.
The One, Who breathed all life from dust
has lived as face we see.
Six days He spoke, stretched curtain broad,
the seventh restful joy.
The human’s job is to be awed
by skills He did employ.
He walked with man through early days,
until first sin brought breach.
As Angel of The Lord He says,
“I’ll die your soul to reach,…”
“… but death itself will not mean much,
until I rise, again,
“to show corruption’s every touch
My Vict’ry o’er its sin.”
For when the time was ripe and full
the fruit of womb came forth
fulfilling prophet’s words, His rule
is greater than all human worth.
Review we now the truth to see
the One, whose grace is known,
came forth from seal-ed womb to be
the same from seal-ed tomb was gone.
He daily breaks through seal-ed hearts
to make forever home
in one, who’s barred Him from the start,
but now welcomes Him to come.
One day He’ll break the seal-ed sky
to set all things to right.
No earthly power can Him deny,
who will come in all His might.
