Again, I love your focus on worship and adoration of this God and Father who is beyond our imagination. He is loving and glorious beyond thinking. (Think how terrible this world would be if God really were how we want Him to be!)
A couple weeks ago, someone introduced me to a song called, "How Low Is Our Redeemer Brought." It's basically a medication on the humility of God in the Incarnation, maybe a medication on Phil. 2, "Though He was one with God, He did not count equality a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself ... and being found in human form, He humbled Himself."
I love the song like I love your poems: it makes me look at my Lord with love and humility. The song offers a series of contrasts between the Exalted One and His humility in coming to Earth. The second verse is:
Welcome, Sam. Thanks. "How terrible the world would be if He were how we wanted him to be”…provokes the thought: how terrible people’s lives will turn out as the god they have made in their image will fail them in the end. Which where it will count for eternity.
Lord, have mercy. Thank You that you so humbled Yourself to bring us into your family. We will be eternally grateful.
Lovely song, good melody, important meditation on the inconceivable reversals. Thanks for the link.
I hope you are well and will have a wonderful, blessed Christmas week. Karen
Hi Karen,

How low was our Redeemer brought
The Lord the worlds obeyed
Would stumble as He learned to walk
Upon the ground He'd made
The One the angels bowed before
Would kneel to wash our feet
And be at home among the poor
Though He owned everything

Thank you once again for pointing us to Him.
