Lived Among Us

Like an adult enrolled in a nursery
a Phi Beta Kappa
God descending
walking as a child

Love descending
grace without ending
aching for our
turning from Him

God coming
as a lowly child
emptied of what is holy
made with feet of clay

Yet pure, unblemished
a worthy sacrifice
going to the cross
to wash away our sin

Living as a servant
healing and teaching
training us to follow
the calling of our God

Guiding us to turn
from our sinful pasts
walking ever closer
to Almighty God

By His example going
on before us
the first-born of the resurrection
preparing a way for us to live
