Tears are falling, hearts are breaking
How we need to hear from God
You've been promised, we've been waiting
Welcome, Holy Child
Welcome, Holy Child
Hope that you don't mind our manger
How I wish we could have known
But long-awaited Holy Stranger
Make yourself at home
Please make yourself at home
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Bring your peace into our violence
Bid our hungry souls be filled
Word now breaking Heaven's silence
Welcome to our world
Welcome to our world
Fragile fingers sent to heal us
Tender brow prepared for thorn
Tiny heart whose blood will save us
Unto us is born
Unto us is born
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
So wrap our injured flesh around you
Breathe our air and walk our sod
Rob our sins and make us holy
Perfect Son of God
Perfect Son
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
