Christ stepped in  

Christ stepped in on that starry night:
a small vulnerable baby into a harsh and scary world.
And heaven touched earth and
angels rejoiced. 
 
Christ still steps in –
no longer a vulnerable baby
but Immanuel, God with us
stepping into our harsh and scary world.
And heaven touches earth and
angels rejoice
 
Christ step in…
To the lost and the lonely
To the bereaved and the ill
To the sad and the joyful
To the poor and the rich
 
Christ steps in…
Immanuel, God with us, steps in.
