Okay, enough of bragging (and being cocky, might I add) and back to the continuation of Advent and another one of my favorite Christmas songs. This one was written by a fellow Union alum, Chris Rice. I'm pretty sure I get teary eyed every time I hear it.
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 prepare 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.
