Not by might the almighty shoulders
a way into the world, but on borrowed
strength, the muscles of his mother
conspiring to bring him to birth;
Not by right does he claim his throne
but humbles himself to the stable stall
and is fed by the milk that sustained us all;
By the light of a candle
the very God unveils new life,
the promise of peace sustained
no longer by blood, but the epitome of love.
