God keeps his promises.  He said he would come and be born in the world – and he has.  He has come to bear the burdens, to show how God would live a life on earth, to love us.

Lord we welcome you.

We know you are already here.

We know it is your world anyway,

But in our way, we welcome you anew.

Thank you that you keep your promises.

Thank you that you came to share in human life.

Come today, and share in my life anew I pray

For we know you are waiting to come,

waiting to live,

waiting to love.

Welcome Lord Jesus afresh today.  Amen
