With love the birds prepare a nest, Their family's new place, And expectation fills their hearts To bless their special space. A child is born from love and joy With God to watch and care. Our families, like woven nests Connect to pray and share. Today we come with warm embrace To share the faith we live, Our gifts of heritage and joy We're here, with love, to give. We come with water, sign of life That Jesus came to bring- And oil of blessing calls us on To pray, to praise, and sing! The water falls on birds and trees A blessing sign of grace - Baptising water urges us To call this church our place! I olden days God blessed the oil That burned a whole week through, Christ's feet, anointed with great love Lead us on pathways new! The vows we make with God to guide Will make our fam'lies strong! Through prayer and joy, through tears and hope God joins our journey long. We praise the God creating still, We praise God's Saviour Son! We praise the Spirit's blessing flight Like birds on wings of song!
