Why He Came

At the beginning
out of the waters
into the desert
tempted by the devil
returning to Nazareth
claiming Isaiah
the mission of his life
why he came into the world
God, Emmanuel
setting us free
out of the world
merely in the world
walking with our brother
through his sacrifice
a way home
for each of us
to our loving God
