Analysis of This precious speck of cosmic dust
This small speck of cosmic dust tinged with blue
of all the planets is special to You.
Chosen to be the birthplace of Your son
bringing Light and Life to everyone.
For Jesus Christ has come into our World,
and just like a flower His life unfurled
embracing us all with wonderful love
lifting us to realms of heaven above.
Once again this Christmas we celebrate
this amazing gift of God incarnate.
As together we open the Stable Door
And gaze down at the One the shepherds saw.
God, a baby! How can this miracle be?
The Immortal clothed in mortality!
The Almighty God and The Son of Man!
The Infinite contracted to a span.
