The 12th Day of Christmas... this is what my True Love did

More Became Less
by Ryan McGregor

The Word became flesh
The infinite became a number
The inferno became a blanket
The hurricane became a breeze
The sun became a match
The forest became a leaf
The rainbow became a tint
The life became mortal
The music became a note
The lion became the ant
The harvest became the seed
The statue became a rock
The novel became a letter
The CEO became the intern
The manager became a batboy
The word became flesh
The one who knew no sin became sin for us
So that fabric could become clothes
So that the fan could play in the game
So that dead wood could become a tree
So that the prisoner could become free
So that the drop could become a drink
So that a note could become a song
So that the unacceptable could be welcomed
So that a crayon could become a picture
So that the seed could bring forth fruit
So that the rock could be shaped in a new image
So that the unemployed could work again
So that strangers and foreigners could become citizens.
So that death could bring life
So that we might become the children of righteousness
So the orphan could become family
So that as many as received Him, to them were given power to become the Children of God.
For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin, that we might be called the children of righteousness.
