Touches here, hints there
about a wedding feast.
A drama of God's love to men
unfolding from eternity.

HOMELESS MAJESTY
To shepherds and kings, the glad news made known.
Breaking the silence of the ages,
Ages of exile and fear.
Servants to foreign lords, rulers of empires not their own.
No rescue nor respite near.
God broke the silence of the night;
His herald of good tidings shone forth.
The rejoicing of heaven made known to men,
God's kingdom coming on earth.
Where was the Shepherd King to be found?
In Bethlehem, birthplace of kings.
But not in a palace.
Homeless in a feeding trough,
The Saviour of all mankind.

MARKS OF ETERNITY
Musings remind us we are
no mere human stuff,
but have a mind
in which new worlds are born.
Change bringing change to us,
and so to others too.
May that change bring life and light,
so moulding God's new age,
an imprint of eternity
now also on our page.
Such change must endure
the flame of God's refining power
and so stand forever sure.
