becoming a baby

becoming a baby

the eternal, God

enterning humanity

becoming a baby, mortal,

the infinite made fragile

becoming like us

taking on human flesh

God incarnate,

God here with us

our Lord Immanuel

becoming a baby

wrapped in human flesh

pilgrims to Bethlehem

pilgrims to Bethlehem

pilgrims to Bethlehem

journeying with scripture

retracing the steps

of Mary, of Joseph,

to the place of Christ’s birth.

leaving Jerusalem,

their time with the angels,

seeing Mary with Elizabeth

sensing the Holy Spirit

in John’s response.

pilgrims to Bethlehem

each year repeating

walking the road with them

to the birth of our Savior

God here with us.

seeking the Christ child

seeking the Christ child

Seeking the baby

the Christ child

journeying to Bethlehem

for the birth of our Lord

Seeking the Christ child

the babe in the manger

God here with us

come to the earth

Returning to the stable

drawn to the manger

gazing in awe, in worship,

into that baby’s face.

Seeking the baby

born that holy night

familiar steps, repeating,

in the ancient words of scripture

Seeking the Christ child

God walking with humanity

in the baby born to Mary

laid in his manger bed.
