She’d never been a mother before
Unmarried and laboring on a dirt floor
Of a barn
In a town
In the middle of this broken world

She never imagined in all of her years
The God of creation could end up right here
As a delicate baby held in the arms of a girl

God with us
Close enough
For our eyes to see
And our hands to touch
Hope for all
Great and small
God with us
God with all of us

Outside of town
Angels filled up the heavens
Announcing a King to the lowliest peasants
“Don’t be afraid,” they said
“Jesus, the savior is here”

If you were there with them
Wouldn’t you run
To catch just a glimpse of the wonderful one
The lamb and the shepherd
The one who would dry all our tears

God with us
Close enough
For our eyes to see
And our hands to touch
Hope for all
Great and small
God with us
God with all of us

Come all you outcasts
Come as you are
Come and adore him
Love has beating heart
Come all you lonely
Come you who mourn
You’re not forgotten
For unto us is born

God with us
Close enough
For our eyes to see
And our hands to touch
Hope for all
Great and small
God with us
God with all of us
God with us
God with all of us
