Eternal God donned human flesh – v2

A thought too immense, powerful,
beyond my comprehension, my ken,
eternal God donned human flesh
and was placed in the manger,
born of Mary, of the virgin girl…
 
the immortal stepped into time
like us of mortal clay,
eternity became human,
to suffer and die, to ascend,
for us to soar to heaven…
 
God gave us Christ Jesus,
God’s greatest gift ever,
the overshadowing of the Spirit,
God with us in the manger,
the Babe who was born of Mary,
the Man who climbed our cross…
