To See As He Sees

I wrote this for my Christmas cards this year.


I see a night so dark.
You see the beginning of eternity.

I see an inn with no room.
You see an entrance for Your glory.

I see a woman with child.
You see Emmanuel, God with us.

I see a forlorn stable.
You see the throne room of the King.

I see a shining star.
You see the Light of the world.

I see a helpless babe.
You see the Prince of Peace.

I see swaddling cloths.
You see robes of the Anointed.

I see ten tiny fingers.
You see hands that will restore sight to the blind.

I see feet so small.
You see footprints of the Divine.

I see a child of insignificance.
You see our Redeemer.

I hear an infant’s cries.
You hear the voice of the Savior.
