The incarnation of the Lord Jesus may seem too marvelous and mysterious to address in mere words, but Jonathan Landry Cruse's new carol finds wonder and joy in this great mystery. How could a mighty Messiah be weak? How could a King come in poverty? Why would a High Priest die for sinners? How is it that the God who sleeps in the manger still upholds the universe by the Word of His power? This carol, set to a pensive, lullaby-like tune, rests in wonder and contemplation, so that like Mary we may treasure up all the mysteries of the incarnation, pondering them in our hearts.
