these first words as Christ

This moment was to come
as sure as the prophecy
the words of the angel
coming to life

These first words of Jesus
in the holy Temple
when He was a still boy
and yet He was special

This was the moment
Joseph had long dreaded;
Christ claiming God
as His true Father.

These first words as Christ
as the sentient Messiah
God come to earth
our Lord, our Savior

This was the moment
all things now different
the path before Him
the prophecy begun
