God most high, most powerful
Dwelling among men
In a tent
The tent of meeting in the desert
His glory shining on men
A cloud of protection over His own
Fire to light their way at night and to keep their enemies at bay
God most high
Dwelling with men
Behold what manner of love
Accessible to the lowest, poorest, the forgotten weakest
Remember the manger
Does anyone among you feel lowly? unworthy? too insignificant?
God is here
Come child
He is here to save souls
From eternal destruction
God in a tent
God in a manger
Among sheep, hey and manure
Accessible to the shephard
Accessible to kings
Accesible to you
But only through His son Jesus Christ
The way, the truth and the life
God most high
Emmanuel
God with us
Remember the tent and the manger
