God and a drop of oil is one of Charbel Baini's books translated by Maha Bechara

Child of the Cave

 

Child of the Cave... and a Christmas Tree

The world is happy again

O child who has come to us

I have spread my heart for you... be happy in it

I don't want anyone else in my heart


You are the light in the darkness of people

And the offering in the Mass

I brought you the sweetest gifts:

My heart, my thoughts, and my feelings


You were born and not born

From Mary, daughter of David

When Saint Joseph saw you, he saw wisdom on your lips

And holiness without limits


Humble... there is no one like you

You were created in a manger

O Lord, may Your glory be everlasting

I walk Your path barefoot
