God
did not wait till the world was ready, till nations were at peace.
God
came when the heavens were unsteady, and prisoners cried out for release.
God
did not wait for the perfect time;
God
came when the need was deep and great.
God
dined with sinners in all their grime, turned water into wine.
God
did not wait till hearts were pure.
In
joy God came to a tarnished world of sin and doubt.
To
a world like ours, of anguished shame, God came, and God’s Light did not go
out.
God
came to a world which did not mesh, to heal its tangles, shield its scorn.
In
the mystery of the Word made flesh, the Maker of the stars was born.
We
cannot wait till the world is sane to raise our songs with joyful voice,
for
to share our grief, to touch our pain,
God
came with Love: Rejoice! Rejoice!
