Wonder of Winter,
White.
A reminder of Him,
Emmanuel.
He came down,
God is with us.
Word made flesh
Waking in darkness
Surrounded by hay
mud, muckiness,
pigs, cows, donkeys, horses...
grounts and noises of livestock.
He came down,
God is with us.
He grew into a man,
Worked miracles
with men and women,
Fellowshipped,
Taught all who would listen
comforted those in need,
afflicted the comfortable.
He came down.
God is with us.
He died on a cross.
He covered my dirt, my blackness, my ugliness
With his blood
He washes me white,
White as snow.
Wonder of winter,
White.
