Come Into My Heart
Yes, Christ Child come into my heart,
open me up to see you in the manger
and see that simplicity.
Open me up to see
your gift of trust,
your gift of abandonment,
your gift of hope and joy.
Yes, Christ Child come into my heart,
again this Christmas,
so that with Mary & Joseph
I may prepare a room for you
as small as my heart and as big as the world
so I may ponder all you fill my life with
and embrace you more and more.
Yes, Christ Child come into my heart,
so I may be filled with wonder and awe
like the shepherds and magi,
so I may give praise to you for all your goodness,
so I may be strengthened to build the kingdom,
so I may proclaim:
God is With Us Always until the End of Time!
Yes, Christ Child come into my heart,
Oh Christ Child you have come again… Thank You!
