My Lord has come

My Lord has come
Will Todd

Shepherds, called by angels,
Called by love and angels;
No place for them but a stable.
My Lord has come.

Sages, searching for stars,
Searching for love in heaven;
No place for them but a stable.
My Lord has come.

His love will hold me,
His love will cherish me,
Love will cradle me.

Lead me, lead me to see him,
Sages and shepherds and angels;
No place for me but a stable.
My Lord has come.


The December 20 "Crossing @ Christmas" concert at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Chestnut Hill, PA, began and ended with Will Todd's, "My Lord has come." Words and music together spoke to me in a particular way on that evening in that beautiful place. The poem is my greeting to you this Christmas, and I invite you to give the few minutes it takes to listen to Tenebrae perform it at www.youtube.com/watch?v=3m8ryivqefk.

Merry Christmas!
