A Gospel of parousia

Born for me

Jesus, born in a dirty stable.

Noisy, smelly -

Animals standing by.

Jesus, born in a dirty stable.

Child of Mary,

Child of Joseph,

Child of God.

Jesus, born in a dirty stable.

Loved by mum,

Loved by dad,

Loved by God.

Jesus, born in a dirty stable.

Feared by Kings,

Feared by leaders,

Chosen by God.

Jesus, born in a dirty stable.

Noises all around,

But bringing peace for the world.

Jesus, born in a dirty stable.

For all,

For you,

For me.

Waiting…

Waiting for Christmas,

Trees, lights and decorations.

Oh, why won’t it come now!

Waiting for Christmas,

Parties, presents and friends.

Oh, why won’t it come now!

Waiting for Christmas,

Food, family and fun.

Oh, why won’t it come now!

Waiting for Christmas,

For love and for Jesus.

Oh, wait - he’s here now!

  

Thank You, Jesus

You came as a baby,

Thank You, Jesus.

You lived as a boy,

Thank You, Jesus.

You worked as a man,

Thank You, Jesus.

You died as my King,

Thank You, Jesus.

You are now my friend,

Thank You, Jesus

You will come again,

Thank You, Jesus

Still waiting…

The whole world was waiting -

Back then, in the past.

A new King was coming,

A new King, at last.

The whole world was waiting –

They thought that they knew

What the new King would look like,

And what he would do.

The whole world was waiting –

But they didn’t quite see

The new baby Jesus

And what he would be.

The world is still waiting –

But, let’s hope that we’ll see

That the man who is Jesus

Loves you and loves me.
