EmmanuelÂ
You who
Lived andÂ
Breathed andÂ
WalkedÂ
in and amongstÂ
our creaturelinessÂ
(our messiness our smelliness our smallness)
BreatheÂ
Your LifeÂ
Into
my messinessÂ
my smellinessÂ
my smallnessÂ
Today
I wait forÂ
I welcomeÂ
You
Peace bringer
Life giver
Divine One
Deliverer
Redeemer
Blessed restorer of all things
Your voice
Your voice
Is the one I want
Only
Speak
your servantÂ
isÂ
listeningÂ
