Because you descended to this world
A magic has touched this land;
An unexpected embrace has warmed me
I’m blessed by an unknown hand!
The parish church wears a starry robe
Outside there runs a fun- filled fair;
The stable cribs on
the street side
Raise higher the Christmas air.
Festive food and
drinks abound
And every family has a X-mas cake;
Believers and non-believers all
Whereof are thrilled to partake.
What’s divine and deeper this season
Human hearts are renewed in power;
To forgive and receive forgiveness
Blessing from above fall in shower.
The weak have grown
in strength
Lord, because of your humble birth;
The unloved are loved in abundance
To the lengths and breaths of the earth.
A miracle is unfolding in my sight
In my very home near and around;
Lord, how can I
render you thanks
for the grace wherewith you surround.
