God stepped
out of infinity
into the
bonds of infancy--
to
listen ,
to
yearn,
to
weep--
Hollow
halls without the light of Heaven--
Angels
hushed in bewilderment
When God
became a man
--For
33 long years.
Years to
watch humanity
grapple
with its sin,
buckle
under pain,
struggle
with no hope.
Baby child,
who
sees what we don’t see
who
knows what we cannot know
who
smiles in the face of God,
Now
Illumines
Heaven with His glory,
Fulfilling
in His Story
the climax
of all time--
Waiting the
grand resolution
when He’ll
wipe away all tears
and sweep
away each fear.
•D. Borkert '99
