Jesus is the fullness of God in human flesh,
the perfect image of the invisible God
The universe wanted to communicate love to us
So God sent his Son, even in a universe flawed
Jesus on earth unveiled God who resides in heaven
God is in Christ reconciling the world to us
Cruciform love for all eternity
Cruciform power surrendering
itself to make us just
Cosmos, humanity, and incarnation
permeates all creation and enters even a man
We welcome and carry Christ within our hearts
We the beloved, God the lover, marked
forever before time began
Jesus is now and forever will be our eternal king
He overcame temptation by facing it
He forgave sin by confronting it
He conquered death by passing through it
Jesus is and always will be our wounded lover
and crucified Lord
