Candlemas - The Lord of The Temple

Led by the Spirit His parents had brought
the Child Jesus into the Temple court.
The Temples' Lord to the temple had come
to keep the law and the required custom.

The glory of the Lord was there that day
in that building composed of earthly clay.
That same glory as in Solomon's reign,
God to His temple had returned again.

Few expected Him to come in this way.
'Twas not at the request of men that pray
but to fulfil the law and pay the price,
a pair of turtle doves as sacrifice.

The world passed by too busy to behold.
as this great moment began to unfold
But this Child Jesus was to change the way
in which we all to come to God today.

That Child in the Temple became a man
and died on the cross to fulfil God's plan.
The veil of the temple was torn in two
and now it's open for us to go through.
