nativity morning

i, teary eyed, welcome Your birth
knowing that it only brings Your death
understanding why it must be
but desiring for another way
unpayable debt rests in my heart
wanting to do more and change
alter the world through actions
yet nothing i do will come close
useless toils without You
i need You in me to make me whole
empty without, overflowing within
tears of joy welcome Your birth
