(Before It's News)
Stable Simplicity
Glory to God, who has revealed the Light
Praise to God, who is our greatest delight
Born in poverty, in the stable simplicity
The Word taken flesh, drenched in humility
Kissing the dusty earth, the eternal deity,
touching the hearts of finite, human fragility.
Kings, bowed before him, shepherds, in awe,
huddled in trembling wonder, by the stable door
Angels, sent from heaven, heralded his arrival
Mary, his blessed mother, the very first disciple
Joseph, all shed grateful tears of joyful admiration
We, are taken up in the sweet occupation of adoration.
