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
