Knowing What He Knew

For He is God
love alive, with us
knowing what He knew
yet choosing to be emptied
a skin for God’s will
walking as a man
humbling himself
coming to the earth

This is the God we await
in the season of Advent
coming into the world
to redeem us to Him
to make us whole
clean once more
wiped clear of our sin

Awake Easter people
go forth children of Pentecost
go as we have been commissioned
following the way of the cross
Out into the wilderness, the darkness
emptied of the world
filled with the Holy Spirit, bringing light
to the ends of the earth
