Jesus came to a world
Full of groans and sorrows
And anger and division
Which only he could fully know
And only he could fully carry
Jesus came to a people
Broken, all of them
Surrounded by a darkness
also found within themselves
and their wandering hearts
Jesus came to a manger
In a sleepy-eyed town
with hay and fur around
and strangers for guests
all unnoticed by a waiting world
Jesus came for you
Considering your needs foremost
When his sacrifice was needed
For healing and hope to come
and wipe away your sins
Jesus comes still for you
Knocking and waiting and longing
For a humble, contrite heart
And simple, childlike faith
So he can bring new life
