JJ Heller's rendition of Chris Rice's 'Welcome to Our World' is a tender Christmas song that reflects on the arrival of Jesus as a vulnerable infant. The lyrics acknowledge human brokenness and longing for God, while celebrating the incarnation as the moment heaven breaks into earthly reality. The song gently points to the purpose of Christ's birth, referencing his healing, suffering, and saving work. It invites listeners to welcome Jesus into their own imperfect lives, finding peace and hope in his presence. The overall tone is intimate and worshipful, making it a fitting piece for Advent and Christmas reflection.

Tears are falling, hearts are breaking
How we need to hear from God
You've been promised, we've been waiting
Welcome, Holy Child
Welcome, Holy Child
Hope that You don't mind our manger
How I wish we could have known
But long-awaited Holy Stranger
Make Yourself at home
Please, make Yourself at home
Bring Your peace into our violence
Bid our hungry souls be filled
Word now breaking Heaven's silence
Welcome to our world
Welcome to our world
Fragile finger sent to heal us
Tender brow prepared for thorn
Tiny heart whose blood will save us
Unto us is born
Unto us is born
So wrap our injured flesh around You
Breathe our air and walk our sod
Rob our sin and make us holy
Perfect Son of God
Perfect Son of God
Welcome to our world
