| Lift up your eyes and see the riches of the all-sufficient King seated on His
|
| throne in glory
|
| See His scepter that stretches the expanse of unmeasured space
|
| Hear Him who holds all things together declare, «all things are mine without
|
| exception»
|
| See the curiosity of the cosmos as Christ condescends to His most cherished
|
| creatures
|
| See the astonishment of angels as the Almighty advances towards Earth
|
| See the humility of the pre-existent King born of a virgin birth
|
| The Infinite becomes infant, the Maker becomes man
|
| The Divine becomes despised, and the Christ is crucified
|
| The Author of all creation cursed upon the tree that He Himself spoke into being
|
| And the Lord of life was laid in the tomb, but the grave could not contain Him
|
| and so the Son of Man was raised to life
|
| But why?
|
| To draw near, to pierce our greatest fear
|
| To shed satisfying blood on our behalf
|
| To give back the life we were meant to have
|
| To enjoy, to hear, to adore, to taste
|
| And to look with peace upon our Savior’s face
|
| And to embrace Him with an undying faith
|
| To interpose all His worthiness into us
|
| And serve the most unworthy and undeserving
|
| He is our God and we are mere men made by Him
|
| We are not like Him, but He loves us and moves among us
|
| The great Uncreated and the created, no longer separated
|
| He is Immanuel, God with us |
