lyrics

We are bringing God to birth, bringing love to earth.
We are bringing God to birth, bringing love to earth.

Once you called a woman dear, called her out beyond her fear.
Now you call me, who am I, to bring your love to earth and sky?

I'm the vessel, you the seed; plant your love for all in need.
Prepare this place for love to bloom, this my body, this my womb.

Now your Spirit grows within, melting darkness, washing sin,
Be the one whose love reveals, comforts, strengthens, holds and heals.

Move me here where I am cold. Make me strong and make me bold
for the work I'm meant to do, birthing Spirit ever new.

When the time for birth is near: pushing, pressing, blood and tears;
gentle maid of Nazareth, give me courage, give me breath.

Holding Christ now in my hands, threat of war throughout the lands,
with these hands I offer peace to the greatest and the least.

Mary, Mother, laughing yes, with your strength and tenderness,
Let my "yes" be joined with yours - healing spirits, opening doors.

Christ the Child, newborn king, Christ the presence now we bring
through our lives and through our song; this the home where love belongs.
