Begotten
The days were dark
The times were grim
Did God still see
And think of them?
Israel held down
In Rome’s strong fist
A census tax
None could resist
A carpenter
And his betrothed
Long walked along
The southern road
It wasn’t how
They planned it’d be
A boy, a girl
A canopy
But Heaven tore
The earthly veil
And came with love
That would prevail
Prevail against
Their captor’s chains
Break off their fears
Remove death’s stains
He cared for her
Who bore the One
The LORD’s only
Begotten Son

See Matthew 1:20-21
“But while he thought on
these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream,
saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy
wife: for that which is conceived
[“begotten”] in her is of the Holy Ghost.
And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS
[“Savior”]: for he shall save his people
from their sins.”
Matthew 1:20-21
