My heart ponders your birth
and I think:
You are magnificent
my beautiful, tiny, boy
I hold you in my arms
my precious lamb
my cherished one
I adore you.
ten fingers and toes
like dew kissing a flower,
your skin engulfs you softly
I am amazed by the birth of this baby boy.
You are Immanuel
my precious, exalted redeemer
I hold my heart to you
I’m overshadowd once more
and swaddled by love
I adore you.
My fingers tremble and know
I hold God robed in flesh
the prophets words unfurled
I praise you Lord
for the birth of the Savior of the World.
