Becoming

Blood on the alter
  sprinkled on the people
their hair, their eyes, their clothes
until in time
the Word laid down
inside the bloody womb

As You languished there
  becoming flesh
did you ask yourself,
Is this what it feels like to be them?

Toil in the realm
  of straw and dust
deal, endure, and clean up the mess
  When You were frustrated did you ask yourself,
Is this what it feels like to be them?

On the cross, blood
ran into your eyes like sweat
  As You languished there
becoming death
becoming what’s wrong
  in each of us
Did you ask yourself,
Is this is what it feels like to be them?

It is Your blood now
  sprinkled on our hearts
as white as snow
  our hair, our eyes, our clothes

We ask to pronounce your Name
you say,
  You are just becoming
holy, holy, holy
  will do for now
