A short Christmas message including a poem by Dustin Miller written on December 18, 2013 (used with permission).
JOY TO THE WORLD
Joy to the world
And in the world
But not of the world…
Pierced by the world
Joy sings…
Earth groans, trembles,
Shakes the halls of kings…
The Baby’s mother, weary-worn,
Whispers soft and secret things…
A child of Hope
To us
And in us
But not of us
Is born…
Mocked by the world
Hope longs…
Earth turns, yearns,
Weeps the ancient wrongs…
The Baby’s mother, tired-torn,
Murmurs sacred Mystery songs…
Love leaves All
For us,
Draws us,
Saves us,
Brings us Home…
Lashed by the world
Love dies…
Earth shakes, breaks,
Writhes in Eden’s web of lies…
The Baby’s mother, night-to-morn
Sips deep from Heaven’s Love-drenched eyes…
