The Heart That Ponders #12 . . . Leaving The Throne . . .12/12/08

Dear Holy Friends,
    Less than two weeks until Christmas. What does that mean to you? Are you way behind on your shopping? Are you way behind on your decorating? Is the Christmas music ready? Did the baby in the manger get lost somewhere along the way? Unfortunately, for many people, He does. 
 
In His Grip, Chandra
 
Leaving The Throne
 
How'd you do it, leave your place on high
    trade heavenly garment for skin
knowing you would die and take away my sin?
 
All of the glory of heaven you left behind
    for a young woman's womb
then entered earth and dwelled in a manger room.
 
You came as a child and lived among us
    purity amongst the sinful souls
from a manger to a cross just to make us whole.
 
Giving up your throne and position
    growing here on earth
is at its most amazing as we wait for your birth.
 
May the rush and hustle around me
    never remove my awe
of a manger, My Savior, the perfect Son of God.
 
~Chandra Lynn Smith, 12/12/08~
