Ah, Master, I will use them.
Rabboni, I will pray.
Good Shepherd, I will not abuse them
However far I stray.
Redeemer, you have bought me
Back from slavery.
How could I scorn the Son that taught me
Light and how to see?
This day of circumcision,
This covenantal day,
Names you our future Resurrection
Life and Truth and Way.
Ah, baby, head so heavy,
Lay it down, I pray.
Soon you will raise it strong and steady
For the crown of Christ in Glory ---
Perpetual Christmas Day!
