Baby's Choice
The choice was very simple for the Baby in the hay
Just stay and let His life unfold or up and walk away
Be One with our humanity or leave us on our own
Poor creatures with no hope of life unless He did atone
For all the past iniquity and what was yet to come
As He would as our Sacrifice be Him Who paid the sum
Of every indiscretion every selfish evil sin
For which He was the Miracle to help us all begin
Again as new born children with One Father up above
Who selflessly gave everything when He gave out of love
His One Son now begotten to be One with those condemned
To likewise pay the Price of Life through death for those who sinned
And through that death surrender to the trademark of God's love
To bear our flesh forever and the scars we've spoken of
The scars in both His hands and feet and in His spear pierced side
Wherein the power of God's grace forever will reside
The power of that perfect love that saw us as we were
That pled with Eve back at the tree when Satan tempted her
And then watched as her husband lacked the trust and love of Him
To have a plan to make things right and heal the two of them
And then watched as the murder by the one son who then fled
Began a course destroying life until the Father's dread
Of all of man's iniquity led to that great demise
When by the flood God cleansed the earth of sin before His eyes
But sin was not forsaken by the ones He saved that way
And soon returned as innocence was almost wiped away
Until this Lamb of Sacrifice was born a Baby Boy
Sin met in Him that purity it could not there destroy
But thankfully that Baby born both human and divine
Chose when He came to keep that perfect Sacrifice in mind
And grow as Christ the Saviour though it meant the most from Him
To give His all forever to be One with all of them
Who choose to love and serve Him with their whole life everyday
Who choose to prove His perfect will in all they do and say
That when at last He comes for those who choose eternity
He'll see Himself reflected in the Way we choose to be
