The Audacity of God
As is in Genesis, God stood on the platform of nothing
Miracle after Miracle, orchestrating a drama transpired
With audacity, He spoke heaven and earth into being
On the seventh day, resting, not because He was tired
With loving hands, God molded the clay to form man
As wings covered the eyes of Cherubim and Seraphim
Angels marveled at the execution of such a spectral plan
For He declared that in His image, He would create him
Adam, disobedient and defiant, fell into spiritual despair
Forty-two generations, a child was born, a mediator
From heaven, the living word, the angels would declare
The mission was fore-ordained by an all-knowing Creator
The inhabitants stood in silence, too meek to intervene
A holy emissary came to abort a catastrophic disaster
Witnessing the Birth of a prodigy, they had not seen
For a season and a reason to abort Satan's reign of terror
Had the Savior not made his entrance, what of man's soul
The Father pitied the groan of man and decided to redeem
With audacity, He loved the world and wouldn't abort his role
At Christmas, all believers hold Christ's Birth in high esteem
