From Stable to Cross
I fight for a crown; You gave Yours away.
I put gifts over family; You value the stray.
I wallow in comfort; You came in the cold.
I pile up treasures; You chose hay over gold.
I rage in the storm; You find peace in stars’ rays.
I crave treats that enslave; You were swaddled in rags.
I use people for gain; You love at all costs.
When I turn from Your stable, You take up Your cross.
