Venite Dominum ~ A Poem

Venite Dominum

Christ comes to a broken world...
not in the merriment of the Christmas season,
with its' carols, gift-giving and celebrations,
but in its' ugliness, imperfections and failures.

Christ comes to a broken world...
not in the tinsel and glitter of lights,
but meeting us where we are...
sometimes lonely, hurting and in pain.

Christ comes to a broken world...
our hearts rejoicing as this Babe is born;
His Love so great that death on the cross
will break the chains of bondage forever.

Christ comes to a broken world...
bringing shelter in life's storms,
offering peace which the world cannot give;
and heralding hope that He will come again!
