Christ Yesu was born (Odi, odi)
Author: Tom Colvin Hymnal: Come, Let Us Walk This Road Together #14 (1997) Tune Title: MAGOMERO First Line: Christ Yesu was born at a Bethlehem inn Refrain First Line: Odi, odi, a neighbor is here Lyrics: 1 Christ Yesu was born at a Bethlehem inn
where Mary and Joseph had begged to get in;
for birthplace a stable was all they could find,
though Yesu was God's gift to all humankind.
Refrain:
"Odi, odi, a neighbor is here,
Odi, odi, will you welcome me there?
"Odi, odi, I stand here and wait.
Odi, odi, will you open your gate?"
2 He comes as a neighbor who asks for our aid,
he comes in disguise that he may us persuade.
He comes to us early or come to us late,
but humbly he waits as he cries at our gate, [Refrain]
3 He comes as a servant to each tribe and race
and shows us the way for us all to embrace.
He offers his friendship to rich and to poor,
and calls to us all as he stands at our door. [Refrain]
4 He comes as a brother, he comes as a friend,
he comes all our hatred and warfare to end.
He comes to unite and he comes to restore,
and ever so gently he calls at our door. [Refrain]
5 Yesu you're welcome, the door's open wide,
we beg you to enter and with us abide.
Your love in our heart and your smile on our face,
we'll see you in neighbors who stand in your place.
Odini, Odini, our neighbors out there,
Odini, Odini, we will welcome you here.
Odini, Odini, please enter, don't wait,
Odini, Odini, we have opened our gate.
