How can the infinite in finite find
contentment living in a human box?
The speaking Word a universe defined
now bound to earth, a welcome paradox!
Can he who wraps up water in the clouds,
names every star then listens to them sing
become a lamb before the rabid crowd
become a lamb before the rabid crowd
forgive them for not crowning him the King?
The answer rests in love's audacity--
to wash feet calloused and with Martha weep,
feed bread and fish to thousands modestly,
kiss babies, touch the leper, make lame leap.
kiss babies, touch the leper, make lame leap.
To him who gives God-man the right to reign
will find that he has everything to gain.
