The bodies we live in
walking the earth
handmade jars
filled with love
the treasure we carry
the gift of God
the proof in the coming
of the Christ-child to earth
We carry within us
the Spirit of Jesus
the love that led Him
to go to the cross
We are to share
the story of Jesus
the living, risen Messiah
sitting on His throne
