Wisdom & Humility
A poem of Christmas

The wisdom of creator God
And Mary, just a girl
Humility of a willing heart
To do God’s perfect will.

The wisdom of the universe
Humility of earth
Drawn together by amazing grace
At our Saviour’s birth.

The wisdom of God’s timing
In history he wrought
Humility of following
To Bethlehem were brought.

The wisdom of a thousand tongues
As angels sang in choir
Humility of shepherds poor
Heard great news from on high.

The wisdom of men from afar
Seek the newborn king
Humility of family poor
Their gifts to him they bring.

The wisdom of God’s promises
So sure his truth will be
In humility we all can come
Find blessing, be set free.
