A Gift To All Mankind

An act of condescension,

An act of love and grace,

When deity became a man

To save this human race.

The two in one, both God and man,

Mistreated and abused,

And oft misunderstood by those

Who stood by and accused.

He laid aside His glory

In order to reach man,

To implement the Father's will,

To put in place His plan.

Indeed a gift to all mankind

Modeling a life of love,

Dependence on the Father,

Direction from above.

And so we walk the path prepared

Thus following His steps,

And wise the man who understands,

Dependence then accepts.

Alone we can do nothing,

Alone we try and fail,

But only as we do God's will

Will truth and love prevail.

The Incarnation demonstrates

Dependence in all things,

For Jesus truly understood

All from the Father springs.
