See him cross the unbridgeable chasm The following song was written as a modern Christmas carol to capture something of the wonder of the incarnation. The lyrics may be found underneath.
See him cross the unbridgeable chasm Sharon Kane As the oceans condensed in a dew drop, As the heavens encased in a gem; So lies God wrapped up snug as a baby In a crib in obscure Bethlehem. As eternity caught in a heartbeat, As all light filtered through a lone star; So our God squeezes into our frailty, The Creator steps down from afar. See Him cross the unbridgeable chasm To pay our impossible debt. The immortal entangled in soft human flesh Comes to share in our physical death.The great mind which envisioned creation It is void now and shrouded in mist. Mighty hands which once fashioned the mountains They are balled into miniature fists. And that voice which called light into being Now wordlessly whimpers and cries, While the heart where true love had its birthplace Beats in rhythm to soft lullabies. See Him cross the unbridgeable chasm To pay our impossible debt. The immortal entangled in soft human flesh Comes to share in our physical death.Condescending to live in the shadows He raises us to his marvellous light; For his glory once veiled in a manger Now fills heaven with splendour and might. Joyous hearts lost in pure adoration Beholding his radiant face; We will kneel at his pierced feet in worship Being held by his infinite grace. See Him cross the unbridgeable chasm To pay our impossible debt. In the child who stepped down from the courtyards of heav'n All the yearnings of man are now met!
