(r.O.C.)this One Born the Son of Mary

Jesus,
this One from above,
He who descended into the darkness of this life
through a humble birth-

This One ray of Hope
to a world enshrouded in darkness,
the darkness of sin-

This One born the son of Mary
would destroy the shackles
from off those who would accept Him
as Savior and Lord, Messiah and Deliverer.

Jesus,
who came on a rescue mission for His Father
would gain back that which was rightfully 
God’s in the beginning:
                     US,
His prize creation.

Unlikely in the minds of some that salvation 
would come in the form of One from such humble beginnings
and that He would be largely unseen as life’s Answer
in the eyes of this world.

But that matters not
as God’s Greatest Gift has come
to each of us in every age:

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!
