Gift Wrapped

.
The least the world had to offer,
 in truth, the best it wanted to commit,
  to wrap the gift of salvation to mankind,
It's Creator come in person to rescue
 those gone so wrong, in swaddling linen,
  and laid in a shallow hollow hewn of rock
   filled with old hay for feeding animals.

The least the devil had to offer,
 in truth, the best it wanted to commit,
  to wrap the gift of salvation to mankind,
It's King come to break sin's chains,
 in a graven shroud, and laid in a deep
  hole hewn of rock, and so soon forgotten,
   filled with invitation for hungry worms.

The least the Creator had to offer,
 in truth, the best They could commit,
  to wrap the gift of salvation to mankind,
Jesus the Christ, the Son of God,
 in shekinah glory, the light of morning,
  and lifting us up into rapturous cumulus,
   filled with the promise of eternal love.
 

Matthew 4:16
John 1:14, 8:12
