You show us earth is not a waste
When Your Son comes to us,
For it was meant to be a space
Where goodness lives in trust.
Then beauty, goodness were betrayed
When Adam made his choice
And from earth’s goodness with Eve strayed;
They heeded Devil’s voice.
But now our voice through Mary comes,
And she says “Yes” to You;
With sin not present she becomes
The first who’s made anew.
She gives her nature to her Son
Through whom she is redeemed–
The first from human race He won,
Saved from the Devil’s scheme.
The first to know earth is restored
By Son who’s of her born,
For of new earth He is the Lord
And reigns on Christmas morn.
