Joining the melody,
swaying in the pew
on the night, silent night
the holy night of the birth
Advent, come down
Christmas at its cusp
singing with the angels
the meaning in their song
almost incomprehensible
overwhelming
God, Love, descending from heaven
into the virgin, God, Christ
born into humanity
humble, servant
in the manger bed
come into the world
to stitch shut the breach
the way from our sin
our darkness
into the loving arms of the father
walking with God once more

The song of the angels
Luke 2:1-20
and
“the inner workings of the song”,
phrase used by musician Patti Smith to describe
some of what she gains listening to opera star Maria Callas,

The Inner Workings of the Song
The words of the poetry
the love, given by God
like the inner workings of the song
the story of Christ
our king, our savior
the babe born in the humble stable
placed into the manger bed
the lamb, climbing upon the cross
God come down to earth
living as a man
walking a righteous life
saving us from our sin
in his rising from the dead
ascending to heaven again
all in fulfillment,
seated forever on his throne
