An angel comes to Earth
With a very special message
to a Virgin who lives
under the temple’s patronage.
The angel has an important question,
one only She can answer;
will she become the Messiah’s mother
and help rid the world of sin’s cancer?
Behold, She is willing,
this handmaid of the Lord,
to let it be done
according to His Word.
The final lap of waiting has arrived,
the countdown has begun,
until the birth of the Messiah,
the sacrificial Lamb, God’s only Son.
Angel wings flutter with excitement,
Devil wings shudder with fear,
as the Lord of Hosts comes to Earth
to make a temporary home here.
A mighty Being inside a small being,
hidden within a womb,
just to die one lonely day
and be sealed within a tomb.
But for now a simple prayer,
a whisper of a song,
as the Lady takes the first steps
to guide us back to where we belong.
As the days draw nearer
to the day of His birth,
the Heavens prepare a mighty tune
to announce His first touch upon the Earth.
Shepherds and kings, poor and wise,
will travel to see Him
And will worship, on bended knee,
our Deliverer from sin.
