Welcome to Our World

Tears are falling, hearts are breaking
How we need to hear from God
You've been promised, we've been waiting
Welcome Holy Child, Welcome Holy Child

Hope that You don't mind our manger
How I wish we would have known
But long-awaited Holy Stranger
Make Yourself at home, Please make Yourself at home

Bring Your peace into our violence
Bid our hungry souls be filled
Word now breaking Heaven's silence
Welcome to our world, Welcome to our world

Fragile finger sent to heal us
Tender brow prepared for thorn
Tiny heart whose blood will save us
Unto us is born, Unto us is born

So wrap our injured flesh around You
Breathe our air and walk our sod
Rob our sin and make us Holy
Perfect Son of God, Perfect Son of God
Welcome to our world

Somehow this song in all it's simplistic beauty touches me deeper than any other Christmas song. May we never grow accustomed to the idea of Word becoming flesh and saving our lives. May it always inspire awe, wonder, and a passionate loyalty.

I love you Jesus. I know I don't always show it well, or say it well, or spend the time together that we need to grow and cultivate our relationship. But I love you with all my heart.
