Precious Promise

Precious Promise

A tiny speck within the womb,
New life begins to stir.
The blessèd mother offers room,
And He is one with her.

 

The Christ Child brought a promise true,
To all mankind on earth,
There was a task that He must do,
But first would come His birth.

 

This Life that formed the Universe,
Must now be formed anew;
Before His mother gave Him birth,
This Babe within her grew.

 

How can our minds contain the thought,
That One who ‘had it all’,
Should count His very riches nought,
Come to earth, as a baby small.
