Welcome, Jesus, you are welcome in this world made hard by fear; loving reach us, living teach us, Jesus, you are welcome here. Welcome, Jesus, you are welcome in the ghettos we have made; give the tattered, bruised, and battered winter shelter, summer shade. Welcome, Jesus, you are welcome with the wealthy and the poor; give the broken love unspoken, open wide each prison door. Welcome, Jesus, you are welcome. Let your loving light appear. In our seeing, in our being, Jesus, you are welcome here.
