Fellowship & Fairydust

The outside world is cruel and hard;

To us the strangers’ doors are barred.

But in this stable, small and cold,

I’ve seen this miracle unfold.

–

I gaze upon your peaceful face

Radiating heavenly grace.

I know You’re not just any child;

Your innocence is undefiled.

–

We’ve longed for you in ages past;

Can it be true You’ve come at last?

I wonder still how this can be?

Why have you selected me?

–

You’re here to save all humankind—

A task that’s quite beyond my mind.

What will Your earthly future bring?

What suffering and painful sting?

–

I can’t but tremble at my fear,

Caress Your cheek and hold you near.

My human heart feels all too frail;

The future’s hidden by a veil.

–

And yet—that doesn’t matter now.

My strength I know You will endow.

You are the Father’s only Son;

The victory’s already won.

–

For now, You’re resting in my arms,

Safe from reach of any harm.

My heart is filled with hope and joy

That evil’s helpless to destroy.

–

You’re a blessing I do not deserve,

But I said “yes”; I will not swerve.

I give You my undying love,

My God, descended from above.
