Why the Nativity?

Why a babe

Swaddled,

Warmed,

Held to Mary’s

Heart,

Born

To men

Through deity?

Why a star,

And kings

Afar

Kneeling,

Feeling?

Why a stable,

And shepherds able

Worshiping in

Fields

Of angels?

Why a life

So pure

Be taken,

Shaken in

Gethsemane,

Then struck upon

A violent

Cross?

Why?

For me.

For me!
