The Galilean
As a child he came to us Born of the womb of infinity Wrapped in the swaddling clothes of time and space The sovereign of stars and smoldering suns he was Whose hands had held the planets in their paths Whose fingers formed this glowing galaxy Who sprinkled the blackened sky With glistening beads of liquid light Who hung the midnight With a thousand diamond constellations All looped like necklaces across A jeweler's velvet cloth As a child he came to us Born much as all men are born And dying much as all men die But living not at all as all men live For divinity surged in his veins In Jesus mankind got a glimpse of God As never prior or since And we have not forgotten it The world can never be the same again For we have seen what God is And have seen what man can be
