The story of Christmas
trying to turn the world
right side up, to turn from
the power of night
to a world where sacrifice,
where servanthood
where the meek, the
forgotten
the least, the last, the
lost
outsiders equal with the
select
all are worthy,
all brought inside
within, with him
a king a babe
a throne a manger
women, shepherds, foreigners
all can be vessels for God’s
message;
A babe in swaddling clothes
will change the world
