Miracle of Grace
Young woman in labour,
empty streets, no room in inns,
yonder-- cave, oxen and hay,
as if silently waiting, mother and babe.
One lone star over the night,
shepherds keep watch, Wisemen depart
-- prophecy in sight--
angels announce birth of a King
born this night. No royal might,
swaddling clothes, meekness wrapped.
Gift of love, miracle of grace,
let peace and love be welcomed in,
anew-- by grace-- illumine within.
