Though a humble infant
fragile, vulnerable
the creator of the universe
walking in human flesh
Bow before our Savior
humble in His presence
looking at the face of God
wearing human flesh
Look into His eyes
do they show His knowledge
of His life, His suffering
His going to the cross
Offer ourselves
our gifts to Jesus
our lives in His hands
submitting our wills to God
