God is present in each baby

And throughout all time and space,

In the chaos and the order,

In each tender touch and face.

We are called to travel far

And embrace the Christmas star.

Through this journey Jesus leads us,

With the prophets and the saints,

To a world beyond illusion,

Freed from power or wealth’s restraints.

As a babe we each have known

Humbleness was our true home.

With amazement and with gladness

We now sing our Christmas song

And with eager expectation

Own the space where we belong.

In the crib we find a place

Filled with wonder and with grace.
