Dear Holy Friends,
One of the most powerful Christmas pictures I have seen is the one with the shadow of a cross over the manger. It inspired this poem.
In His Grip, Chandra
The Shadow of The Cross
The infant in the manger
tiny and brand new,
how could it be
He could save me and you?
No crowns and royal clothing
for this King of kings,
rags and a smelly barnyard
for the Lord of everything.
Lying in the golden hay
innocence of a baby boy,
heavenly royalty
wrapped in newborn joy.
God, in the babe in the hay
let the miracle not be lost,
look closely in this Holy light
and see the shadow of the cross.
