God lives within humanity (YB No 85)

God lives within humanity;

What joy at Bethlehem we see;

Quietly born amongst the hay;

We recall good news today.

Jesus, Mary’s little child,

So precious and so undefiled;

Jesus’ special day;

God amongst the hay.

God lives within humanity;

What joy at Bethlehem we see;

Kings and shepherds come sincere;

Some with wisdom, some in fear;

Grace and peace and love and joy

Are welcomed in a baby boy;

Jesus greeted here;

God, incarnate, here.

God lives in our humanity;

Divine and human unity;

In our care and gentleness

God conveys a blessedness.

As with Jesus, God imparts

Divine intention to our hearts.

Jesus lived to bless;

God in us will bless.

God lives within humanity;

From Bethlehem to Calvary;

Through it all he shows us how;

Jesus Christ invites us now;

He reveals what life can be,

So hear his call. ‘Come follow Me.’

Christ invites us now.

God invites us now.
