All in one baby Jesus.


All in one baby Jesus;

Moved by his great love for the entire world,
Kindness and mercy overwhelming our Father,
Yet in His justice he still had us in his heart,
Giving us the best through his only Son,
His grace, his light and love all in one baby Jesus.

To those lost in despair and pain, a baby is born.
To those lost in self righteousness, a baby is born.
To those oppressed by the evil, a baby is born.
To those hated and excluded, a baby is born.
His grace, his light and love all in one baby Jesus.

To those in hardship and suffering, a baby is born.
To those enslaved by man and the world, a baby is born.
To those who hunger and thirst, a baby is born.
To those who 'know' and know not, a baby is born.
His grace, his light and love all in one baby Jesus.

To those overtaken by lust, a baby is born.
To the servants to greed and gluttony, a baby is born.
To those overcome by wrath and vengeance, a baby is born.
To the envious and proud, a baby is born.
His grace, his light and love all in one baby Jesus.

To the oppressor and to the oppressed, a baby is born.
To the master and to the slave, a baby is born.
To the persecutor and to the persecuted, a baby is born.
To the weak and to the strong, a baby is born.
His grace, his light and love all in one baby Jesus.

To reconcile us back to God in incarnation, a baby is born.
To comfort and encourage us in love, a baby is born.
To forgive and save us by His grace, a baby is born.
To take away our sins in His atoning death, a baby is born.
His grace, his light and love all in one baby Jesus.

To give us freedom in his truth, a baby is born.
To guide and instruct us in his light, a baby is born.
To make us a new creation in His resurrection, a baby is born.
To give us hope for heaven in his ascension, a baby is born
His grace, his light and love all in one baby Jesus.
