When the Word Was Made Flesh - Original Poem

I just found this on my computer.  I don't remember writing it or posting it before, but it is dated 2007.

When the Word was Made Flesh

The Son of God became the Son of man.
The only begotten of His Father became the firstborn of His mother.
The Ancient of Days became the Dayspring from On High.

The Eternal Lord became a lowly carpenter's ward.
The Author of Joy became the Man of sorrows.
The Master took upon Him the form of a servant.
The Maker of man was made in the likeness of men.

The God of Jacob became the Seed of Abraham.
The Root of Jesse became the Branch of David,
And the Branch of David was made the Vine of Israel.
David's Lord was made David's Son.

The First Cause became the Second Man.
The Lord from Heaven became the Last Adam.
The Alpha and Omega,
          The All in One
                    Became the One for all.

And He did it all
For me...

When the Word was made flesh!
