See him

I came across this hauntingly beautiful song at the beginning of lockdown. I have spent the rest of the year trying to remember where I found it - even though I had posted it on facebook (facepalm). 

I have found it again...  

See him in the manger

Swaddled in a cloth

Angel's words grown in flesh

Brought him to the earth.

See him in the temple

Making earth his home

Wisdom's child seated

Learning as he grows.

See him at the wedding

Heaven's gifts at hand

John cleans with water

He will heal with wine.

See him on a donkey

Riding as a king

To the man of wisdom

Palms and stones will sing.

See him on the hillside

Swaddled in a cloth

Angel's words piercing flesh

Take him from the earth.

Oh my heart, oh my soul

Tell how can this be?

Oh my heart, oh my Christ

Come again to me.

See him in the garden

Tending to the same

Though he's hid from our eyes

Yet he calls my name.
