Still Calls

Mercy fell in a miraculous display of love and creativity

beyond our wildest firework imaginations.

It landed in a dirty cradle and sparked an amazing grace

far more than we could ever dream of or deserve.

In the darkest night, peace lit up the sky with silence

wooing the weary ones to come.

Wise men may not have fully understood,

but they knew enough to find him, no matter what.

To this day the light still calls

and the darkness will never put it out.
