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
