Welcome to Our World

One of my favorite contemporary Christmas songs...

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 thorns
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

-Welcome to our World, Chris Rice

Oh, Maclain! I wish I could come!! I'm so sorry, but I am substitute teaching on Friday. :-( I know you will do a WONDERFUL job, and hopefully Mr. Matt and I can come see you after Christmas sometime. :) Thank you so much for leaving us a note. We MISS you and LOVE you very much, Master Maclain the Bell Ringer. :) Merry, merry Christmas!
