Christ's Christmas Chiasm
X marks the Gospel spot
He’s the chiasm of B.C. to A.D.
Like the Chi-rho symbol or ichthus fish
There’s no disrespect, says R.C.
X reminds us of Christ,
[The Star that’s shining bright]
It’s 1st Century shorthand communication
While under persecution it was their elocution
The 1st letter of His name Χριστός in Greek
Hear Him in His Word and His Speak
Was it Winter was it Spring
Was it Fall or another season
Whichever, He is the reason for reason
With angels bending, and the
Act of God condescending
Bringing peace to the Earth
This we rejoice in outside the inn
That X marks the spot of a King sized manger
The birth of our Savior
And our release from sin
The Rock that rolls away the stony heart of dearth, also
Is rolling back the curse
