The Cradle and the Cross

Belo sur Tsiribihina May you ponder the true wonder of Christmas.

I can’t look at the cradle

Without looking to the cross

Both made from wood

Both cut from a tree

Both such a humble place

To find the King of Kings.

 

I can’t think about the birth

Without thinking about His death

In both I rejoice

In both He proclaims

His obedience to God’s will.

 

Mary’s tears

Tears of joy, tears of pain

Her son born to die

Her son born to rise again.

 

I can’t look at His Word

Without looking to my sin

It pierces my heart

Just as the nails pierced His hands

So long ago.

 

The cradle and the cross

Both memories of His love

Humble enough to become man

Holy enough to conquer sin.

 

I can’t think about His humble birth Without being awed by His holiness

Holiness He offers to

Those who believe

In the cradle and the cross.
