Thank You for coming
To this little corner of planet Earth.
Exactly to Bethlehem
A Holy Presence beyond the towns worth.
We stand all around with all sorts of visitors
Looking down, dumbfounded
Into the manger.
Thank You for coming
Even though it is the middle of the night.
When there is no hospitality
Everywhere full to capacity.
An outsider while in Your mothers womb
In a cave shared with cows, donkeys, goats and sheep
All settled down ready to go to sleep.
Thank You for coming
Even though the only thing we had to put You in
Was a crib
A place out of danger.
Worshipped and loved by travellers and strangers
Under the star shining down upon the Light of the World
Giving hope, joy, peace and love to everyone for evermore.
