Year's end arrives, Christmas lingers on
Grateful hearts for gifts from dusk till dawn.
God's Son in flesh, a mystery profound
How could divinity on Earth be bound
We grasp it not, this sacrifice of grace
Nor comprehend our eternal, heavenly place
With Jesus joined, in life that knows no end
A future veiled, as new year we ascend
He walked as man, this Savior, meek and mild
Grew in wisdom, as a little child
His mission dawned, a purpose to fulfill
Yet emptied self, surrendering His will
Divinity veiled, understanding dim
He chose to serve, for love that flowed from Him
So trust the path, though shrouded deep in haze
His love will guide us through our earthly days
Jesus, the infant, divine and tru
A human journey, for me and u
In faith we grow, in knowledge find
Our earthly mission, with heart and mind
So let us seek, with open eyes
The path He walked, to paradise
A year of growth, a time to see
The Savior's love, eternally
Yet knowing not the path that lay ahead
He embraced the mission though dangers spread
Good News He brought a message pure and bright
Challenging darkness standing for the light
The wrath of those in power, He would face
Religious leaders rulers of that place.l
Resentment stirred as truth began to bloom
Against the empire sealed His earthly doom
But still He walked with purpose in His stride
The Roman rule and hate He would abide
To ponder now this nature intertwined
Divine and human in 1 heart and mind
The infant small a Savior 2 become
From humble birth, His kingdom here to come
So let us gaze with wonder and with awe
On Christ the child fulfilling heaven's law
Jesus, the infant, divine and tru
A human journey, for me and u
In faith we grow, in knowledge find
Our earthly mission, with heart and mind
So let us seek, with open eyes
The path He walked, to paradise
A year of growth, a time to see
The Savior's love, eternally
Not born with wisdom speaking words of mite
He grew in grace and walked towards the lite
No special powers marked His early days
But lessons learned in humble human ways
He needed teaching guidance from above
To study Scripture filled with God's own love
The carpenter's son from Joseph's hand
He shaped the wood and learned 2 understand
And Mary new the joys and trials 2
A mother's love 4 all her children do
He wouldn't grasp His nature vast and deep
Until the moment when He fell asleep
Our earthly mission veiled until the end
How well we lived how faithfully we'd tend
So let this year a time of growth become
In faith and knowledge till our journey's done
Jesus, the infant, divine and tru
A human journey, for me and u
In faith we grow, in knowledge find
Our earthly mission, with heart and mind
So let us seek, with open eyes
The path He walked, to paradise
A year of growth, a time to see
The Savior's love, eternally
John 1 17 18
