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 fingers 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
This is one of my favorite songs this time of year. Christmas, just like Christianity, gets mired down in so many unimportant details. I think when you strip everything else away; the consumerism, the hustle and bustle, the stress, the legalism and the prejudice, you are left with something beautiful. The beauty of one tiny beating heart, that was our greatest gift.

merry christmas, love.
We sang this last year and I could barely make it through without bawling.
i love it all, but my favorite bit:
"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 "
I'm blinking back tears. Thanks for the beautiful reminder.
Amen to that.
Amy Grant's version is beautiful. Thanks for reminding people the reason for the season.
