Christ, coming into the world
through his choice
his going to the cross
in his humility, his humbleness
a gift beyond comprehension
Repairing the breach
setting our lives free
no longer weighed down by sin
death has lost its sting
Bringing us back to God
providing us a way
back to the loving arms of God
out of our sinful ways
As we are
in our fragile humanity
our stubbornness, our free will
God’s plan worked out through the son
leading us home again
