The Infinite held within her womb

A treasure of endless value
A gift sublime
The child growing
In her body appearing
The infinite held
Within the vessel of her womb
A bit of clay, a pearl
In God’s time revealing
Emmanuel, Messiah
God’s gift, in mercy
Humbly giving
A path for our healing
Christ come down,
As a babe in her body
Nurtured, growing
In the fullness of time
Alive, with us
In the skin of our clay
Walking with us
Embodying God’s grace
