Welcome, baby Jesus!

Merry Christmas! I hope you have a wonderful celebration with people you love. 

There are going to be lots of "O Holy Night" diva moments in the next 24 hours, so here's a more understated song: "Welcome to Our World" by Chris Rice. I much prefer this original version's simple sincerity to Michael W. Smith's schmaltzy remake. The lyrics describe the Incarnation so beautifully.

Fragile finger sent to heal us
Tender brow prepared for thorn
Tiny heart whose blood will save us
Unto us is born
Unto us is born

So wrap our injured flesh around You
Breathe our air and walk our sod
Rob our sin and make us holy
Perfect Son of God
Perfect Son of God
