I have sometimes wondered, dear Christ
Which was the greater sacrifice
Was it the tomb or the womb?
Dark death held you inside
Three days, and nights beside
Imprisoned in the world you had framed
But nine months did You face
There in Mary’s dark place
Growing in the woman you had made
Did You know even then
You were the Savior of men
Or were your thoughts in darkness as well?
And as Your mind came to life
Could you sense of the strife
You would endure on Calvary’s Hill?
I have sometimes wondered, dear Christ
Which was the greater sacrifice
Was it the tomb or the womb?
