God of Light and Life
In the buzz of this place as we get ready to hear the Christmas story,
And in the quietness of Advent when we are told to wait and see;
Like Mary, help us to hear your voice speaking to us.
Like Joseph open our minds to the incredible and our hearts to your truth.
So that:
Like the Innkeeper we will find room for Jesus in our lives.
Like the shepherds we will come to the manger to see for ourselves.
Like the Wise Kings we will come with our gifts, and kneel in worship.
Like the angels we will sing and tell the good news;
That Jesus is born, that God is with us,
That the light of the world has come,
And that God’s love for the world is to be found
In the gift of the Christ child.
