Still He Loves

The morning sun

Is shining down on Bethlehem,

On empty streets

On shatters walls

A war-torn town.

What better place

For Jesus Christ to have been born?

Then as now

Embattled lives

Embittered souls.

No palace walls

Kept Him apart from dying men.

He came to heal

He came for life

He came for love.

Because He’s God

He always knew that this would happen now.

Yet still He loves,

And still He heals.

And still He offers life.
