O Lord,
amazing is your love
that you come to us
so vunerable,
so open,
You came as a babe crying in the night,
You come as bread and wine,
food of the poor.
From the beginning
you were aware of rejection,
of how little room there was for you,
No room at the inn,
No room in many hearts,
So little room in modern life,
and yet,
rejected or not,
you wait patiently
for the heart that will hear your calling,
like Mary did,
like the shepherds,
like Andrew, and Peter and John.
O Lord,
that night so long ago,
you ignited hope
as the angels sang,
hope
that says
there is balm
for all the wounds,
there is rest from all labors,
there is true peace.
O Lord,
let us once again
hear the song the angels sang,
and seeing the babe in the manger,
fall on our knees,
amazed at such radical love.
Amen.
