Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

The words of Paul
declaring clearly
the choice of Christ
to descend, to become a man

Christ eternal
alive before time
“came into the world”
to say you and me

Taking off the mantle
the crown of his divinity
emptied of power
to humbly walk the earth

Came into the world
humbly, as a child
anointed in servanthood
to drink the cup of sorrow

Choosing to come
descended from above
to the cross he went
choosing to sacrifice
that we would live
