If all were now as it was when Christ came to save us all, And Christmas Day were Christmas Day, Not some day we recall; And in the East we saw a star Exceptionally bright, And wondered what was going on That ordinary night; If God were walking in our midst, Saying what He said, And we were not His followers, But trod where He would tread; And we were witness to His word And looked Him in the eye, And found His message interesting But too bizarre to buy; If we were in Jerusalem And watched Him bear the cross, And suffered with His suffering But feared to share His loss; And saw Him die in agony, And wondered at it all, And this were something we ourselves, Not printed books, recall: What would be the difference, Had we known Him that way, Between the faith we feared to feel And what we fear today?
