The Story of Love: Displayed In A Manger.
On day six I created man, formed him in My Image
On day six I created man, formed him in My Image
I breathed into him My Living Breath of heaven
In perfect koinonia we lived in Peace and Love
Then the Deceiver came; koinonia broken; Garden
breached
My Love for humanity, My fallen ones, was not swayed
Judgment came to all that day, yet My Love
displayed
In a Promise the heel is bruised yet He will
crush the head
Through his seed redemption shall come;
blessing for all the earth 
Redemption ordained before the world began; My Love
eternal
A shoot from the stem of Jesse, a branch from
his roots bearing fruit
A star from Jacob, scepter from Israel, governor
in Judah, pre-existing One
Majestic in holiness, Awesome in praises, and working
wonders
The
Greatest Gift, humility and Love, displayed in a manger;
Holy Cradle, God Incarnate, Love Divine, A Child born, a Son given
Immanuel God with us, The LORD your God tabernacled
among you
Son of
God, Son of Man, God in the flesh; Wonderful and Mighty
The Love of The Eternal Father manifest in His
Son, His Throne is forever
Filled with the zeal of the Lord, from swaddling
cloth to Crimson cloak
His Love provided the Ram for a dark and dying
world, propitiation made
—Garden
restored.
