Blessing From Above

He Sleeps, I watch and surely am amazed,
Beautiful creature, birthed in heaven high,
So new is he removed from paradise,
A small reflection of God's perfect Grace.

If ever mighty God deserved my praise,
Aside from Christ, the highest sacrifice,
In him, His love is now personified,
Divine intent embodied in his face.

Awake, he's as the hands upon cloth,
That wring dark water out upon the ground,
His presence forcing bitterness to flee,
Instead, my heart delights in playful sound,
And yet his stillness more endears to me,
His quiet innocence and purity.
