When Christmas Comes for Everyone

There’s a song you might sing in worship this Advent season. It’s written by Shirley Erena Murray —

Verse 1
Star Child, earth Child, go between of God,
love Child, Christ Child, heaven‘s lighting rod,
This year, this year, let the day arrive
when Christmas comes for everyone, everyone alive!

Verse 2
Street child, beat child, no place left to go,
hurt child, used child, no one wants to know,
This year, this year, let the day arrive
when Christmas comes for everyone, everyone alive!

Verse 3
Grown child, old child, memory full of years,
sad child, lost child, story told in tears,
This year, this year, let the day arrive
when Christmas comes for everyone, everyone alive!

Verse 4
Spared child, spoiled child, memory full of years,
wise child, faith child, knowing joy in store,
This year, this year, let the day arrive
when Christmas comes for everyone, everyone alive!

Verse 5
Hope-for-peace Child, God‘s stupendous sign,
down-to-earth Child, Star of stars that shine,
This year, this year, let the day arrive
when Christmas comes for everyone, everyone alive!

— Mercy. What’s one thing you and I can do to help “the day arrive when Christmas comes for everyone” today?
