The third road through the woods
Untravelled on, he leads the way
The grasses brambles
thorns and thickets
Yield submissive in recognition.
His mission – justice for all
His gifts – joy, love and peace
He lives with the poor
He lives for the poor
The poor in possessions
The poor in spirit
The broken hearted poor
The helpless, hopeless poor
Even the heartless poor
He has come for the poor
And champions their cause
He comes to touch, to heal
To make body-heart whole again
He is here – Emmanuel
God is with us.
