Visiting our Vacancy

"Through the tender mercy of our God, whereby the Dayspring from on high hath visited us, to give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.... And she brought forth her first born Son... and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn" (Luke 1:78,79, 2:7,8).

Once dwelling in eternity
In that high and holy place,
Descending to our vacancy,
God came to us with grace.

How marvelous that God would come
To rescue us from sin,
Yet find no vacancy in some,
Just like that busy inn.

The place that Mary found to lay
The Lord of all creation
Was just a manger stall with hay
For Him who brought salvation.

So may our Savior in us find
A door that's opened wide
With heart, and soul, and strength, and mind
Inviting Him inside!
