an embodiment of mercy


more than love
a gift of the Spirit
showing us mercy, compassion
Love in His heart
alive here with us
in the flesh of Christ

taking on flesh, personified
an embodiment of mercy
mercy alive, walking here with us
Love come down yet emptied of heaven
God here with us, vulnerable
in humble mortal flesh

more than a model, a template
a way of living a moral life
the divine become human
descended from heaven
mercy become a person
in the flesh of Christ
