Extraordinary

Is it just?
Is it right?
That a king
Should be born
In a stable!
Not a palace
How extraordinary!
But He is
No ordinary king.

Is it just?
Is it right?
That the Holy child
Should be placed
In a food trough!
Not a crib
How extraordinary!
But He is
No ordinary Son.

Is it just?
Is it right?
The creator of the world
Should be homeless!
Ostracised: rejected!
How extraordinary!
But He is
No ordinary God.

Is it just?
Is it right?
That a sinless man
Should be hung
On a cross!
Not acquitted
How extraordinary!
But He is
No ordinary man.

Jesus Christ
Equal with God
Humbled Himself
Became a servant
In obedience
Making me righteous
Justified
How extraordinary!
An ordinary person
Brought back to God.
