The Giving of Flesh and Blood

The offering of flesh
And life giving blood
Sent selflessly to bless
What lies as a bud

Spirit then to come
And enter therein
A child to become
Soon independent

Motherhood is formed
Midst the dividing of cells
Through love it is flamed
Life warmly within swells

Life, safely preserved
In a protective womb
With water reserved
For the babe to bloom

Naught else can compare
To the love of our Savior
Laboring to bare
That all our sins be paid for

The load became so heavy
He sweat great drops of blood
Then, He gave up His body
That rebirth burst, a flood

Of flesh and blood, in Him
We now can be reborn
To feel His love within
I've thanks for all He bore
