The words of the poetry
the love, given by God
like the inner workings of the song
the story of Christ
our king, our savior
the babe born in the humble stable
placed into the manger bed
the lamb, climbing upon the cross
God come down to earth
living as a man
walking a righteous life
saving us from our sin
in his rising from the dead
ascending to heaven again
all in fulfillment,
seated forever on his throne

The life of Christ
and
“the inner workings of the song”,
phrase used by musician Patti Smith to describe
some of what she gains listening to opera star Maria Callas,
