“Chosen Home”

ADESTE FIDELES 6.6.10.5.6 with refrain (“O Come All Ye Faithful”)
Text: Anna Strickland, 2021
Music: John Francis Wade, 1743

As Jesus’ family
Traveled back to Nazareth
He stayed and claimed a space
Inside temple walls
Seeking a place where
He could show his true self

Refrain:
A place that truly sees us
A place that loves and frees us
Like tables set by Jesus
Is our chosen home

In later years he
Called his chosen family
Fishers and tax collectors
Women and men
Leaving his home to
Eat with saints and sinners

Refrain

We may not find home
Where it is expected
Sometimes we have to leave
To be who we are:
Wholly created
In God’s holy image

Refrain

May this be a
Brave space for all people
Where all are seen and loved
Among family
Space to grow and
Follow in our callings

Refrain
