Christmas 2019 - The God who came to live with us

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.
