Tiny & Weak at the Edge (Rev. Amanda Meisenheimer)

"Jesus has challenged the authority of oppressive regimes for 2000 years because love is undefeatable, justice is unavoidable, and what appears to be tiny and weak changes everything."

What oppressive regimes need to be challenged in our world today?

//

Herod, O Herod
Have you heard the news
A baby is born today
To free all the captives
To find the lost sheep
To bring hope and peace to people in need

Oh babies
May be tiny and weak
And babies change the world

Caesar, O Caesar
Ruler of Rome
A baby is born today
To feed all the hungry
To share the good news
To speak to the ones who have nothing to lose

Oh babies
May be tiny and weak
And babies change the world

Magi, O wise ones
A child is growing
A child whose star you have scene
So follow that star
The light up above
To find the young boy who will teach us to love

Oh Children may be tiny and weak
And children change the world

Oh Children may be tiny and weak
And children change the world

Jesus was tiny and weak
But Jesus changed the world
