Our Father,
You have come to live with us.
We magnify you and we rejoice in your
salvation.
You have looked on us and you have
loved us.
You have broken into human history,
The mighty one has
embraced frailty;
The holy one has swallowed
sin;
The strong one has hugged weakness
The majestic one has stooped
in service.
The infinite one has hunched
in death;
You have brought down thrones;
You have exalted the humble;
You have filled the empty and emptied
the full.
You have visited and redeemed your
people.
You have raised up the strength of
our salvation.
You have remembered your covenant and
your oath.
You have become - God with us.
We are blessed indeed!
Our Father you have made us for
yourself and our hearts are restless until they rest in you,
Without you nothing is ever enough,
But with you we have everything we
need.
Thank you for what you did that first
Christmas.
Our Immanuel - God with us.
