Profound Paradoxes
Eternal God in human flesh.
Creator and creature enmeshed.
Jesus, the Savior of the world,
the babe in a manger curled.
Jesus, God’s Son, Omnipotent,
Hung from a cross, robed with a strip.
God, whose power can’t be restrained,
was by frail human nature chained.
The One whom no space can contain
was in a virgin’s womb retained.
Immortal God sealed in a tomb,
Creator God conceived in a womb.
The King of kings and Lord of lords
defied with disdain and discord.
The nonpareil and sovereign God
received from mortal man no laud.
The God of love greeted by hate,
by human hands suffered death’s fate.
His death secured for man new life,
one filled with joy and free from strife.
