John 1:4

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.

JOHN 1:4

The eternal Word moved in
Becoming in every way
A messy human being
No monarch would enter this way

The moment of His coming
Laid down in prickly straw
A baby born a martyr
The Gift provided to all

The manger like Golgotha
A picture of what's to come
Christmas Day and Good Friday
Like morning and evening, one

The thunderous weight - God's glory
Descending for all to see
Mankind could now behold Him
The most precious King of kings

Wrapped up in pure-white linen
Grace permeates though the straw
Running out of the manger
And touching us one and all

Jehovah, God Almighty
The Truth now in baby form,
Embodied in all God is
This valiant Christmas morn'
