We Rejoice Once More

in the coming of Christ
we rejoice once more
conscious of the meaning
God come to earth
flesh, pain, death
all of humanness
like us walking
the dusty road of life

We rejoice once more
in the joy of his salvation
offering us all
a way to go home
giving his all, his life on the altar
the sacrifice only he could give
once and for all

We await his coming
once more waiting
for the Christ-child’s
holy birth, his days
of walking on this earth
