Unique in Him

A holy temple He has made
     For Son within to dwell,
A temple made without sin’s shade:
     He’s our Emmanuel. 

Her “yes” for us will welcome Him
     Into our world of sin,
Born pure from her in Bethlehem:
     In Him we’re born again.

For He will give Himself to us
     That He may in us live,
And at His call we in Him trust:
     New life to us He gives.

His human self from her has come
     United with divine,
One Person in Him two become:
     Our water changed to wine.

His Body, Blood, in Eucharist
     Make each of us unique.
Forever in Him we exist:
     Each one with no repeat.

Unique for Him, His Mother is
     A model for each one,
For each through her has been made His:
     Perfected in her Son.
