Knowingly (Christmas to Heaven)

Holiest of holies, knowingly

coming down on a day when there would be no place and

subjecting himself to birth.

Lord of lords choosing

day after day, time after time to let an all-knowing mind not know anything and to learn, to struggle, to try.

King of kings

knowingly

kneeling and praying and sweating blood and being taken away by people he’d created and

being bound to a tree that he knew the cellular structure of and

God

creator and Lord and father and warrior and lover

knowingly dies

and three days go by

and then, the tomb, exploding wide and the son of man is lifted high and glory be to God it might and peace to men who have his favour,

Saviour

Chosen one choosing for us, beginning in dark and seemingly ending there but

as known before time

He rose.
