Not through the edict of a king or prince
Not through the strength of a warrior or general
But through the womb of a woman
The earth shook and changed for ever
She was humble, young and gentle
Yet given the power to carry
The Light of the World
Fragile as glass, at it’s first flickering
She simply said yes
And submitted to the Greater Power
The Blessed Will that desired
Peace on earth, good will toward all
Life was born
Conquered evil, brokenness and death
Once and for all
Through the womb of a woman
