welcome to our world

I wouldn't say that music moves me to tears too often. This song does every time. As a matter of fact, I cried my whole way to Papa Murphy's the other day when this song came on the radio. You might be wondering why I didn't just turn the channel, and it's very simple. This song really helps me keep things in perspective. Maybe Silent Night does that for you. Or O Holy Night. This song does it for me.

I'm usually doing good (emotionally) up until this part ...

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

And then I lose it. I think about Lincoln and I know I couldn't have sent him.

Beth, don't you sing this song? Gary---I'm putting in my request now. Ok, I'll stop rambling now. Take a minute and listen to this song.

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
