That He who is and who was and who is to come, the Great I AM, would descend to
Earth–
That He would choose a humble virgin maid to give birth to Him in loving
obedience–
That He would bear our sins unto Himself to free us from our human plight–
That He would rise to new life and take us into Himself through Baptism–
That He would feed us with His own Body and Blood, Bread of Life, and Cup of
Salvation–
That His Holy Spirit would transform us to witness to His Way, Truth, and Life–
That He would bestow on us the greatest gift, eternal life with Him, His Mother
Mary, and all the saints and angels–
That we would be born with Him in Bethlehem?
The One who says “I am who am”
Descends to earth at Bethlehem.
Our maker is of woman born;
No longer is mankind forlorn,
For into man-made sinful waste
Comes He who is from our sin chaste,
To make us all to be like him
Who came to earth at Bethlehem.
A virgin maid with open arms
Here welcomes Him with heart so warm,
That all of us can know His love–
Descends to earth by Spirit’s dove;
For Mary is the first to bear
His life that now we all can share,
As all who are baptized in Him
Are born with Him in Bethlehem.
May we be born again with Jesus this Christmas, to live with Him forever!
PROCLAIMING TRUTH!
