God's Plan of Restoration - 2

God’s plan of restoration
of union with us
healing the breach
since the Fall of Man

God interceding
sending a Savior
a perfect sacrifice
to redeem us within

God’s plan unfolding
in the babe in the manger,
the man who would
climb that tree

God interceding
the rising of Jesus
the resurrection giving us
eternal life.
