That birth is still a mystery

I still don't understand
How all of your goodness
All of your holiness
All of your power
All of your tenderness
All of your righteousness
All of your mercy
All of your strength
All of your wisdom
And your sweet, sweet love
Was condensed into human form
And not only that
You were a baby
You were the size of a pea
At one point
How?

Your glory was subdued
And the brightness of your form
Could only be seen through your eyes
You made yourself nothing
And now here I am
Before you
Laying upon my bed
My mind pondering
My heart swelling without understanding
