Right Side Up – v2


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
