God
what joy we have this day
as we come
to worship you
and to celebrate all you’ve done
through Jesus
Jesus
we bring our praise
our hearts,
our whole selves
to lay as an offering at your throne
the bed of straw
in which your mother, Mary laid you
accept our praise today
and take away all which gets in the way of following you
our guilt
our shame
our despair
fill us with your love
shown in who you are
the child in the manger
and Lord of all
Amen
