Lyrics
Maker to manger
Oh what a journey
Dancer at starbirth
Now firstborn of Mary
Emptied and helpless
Feeling first hunger
Tiny Almighty hand
Curls round her finger
Ageless and changeless
Gasping a first breath
God comes un-noticed
And the new world has come
The old order ending
And the first shoot has sprung
In the earth of Eden's new garden
Spirit who once turned
Chaos to cosmos
Hovers in silence
Over Nazareth rooftops
She hears the first heartbeat
The pulse of salvation
Love's incarnation
Spinner of planets
Pourer of oceans
Caught in the storm
Of human emotion
This staggering God
Takes his first steps towards us
On feet that will grow strong enough
To carry a cross
