Infant holy, infant lowly,
Born to bring us peace and love,
In a world that’s often cruel,
Shining light from heaven above.
For the ones who face rejection,
Due to race, or age, or creed,
Jesus comes with love and mercy,
Meeting every human need.

Infant holy, infant lowly,
Born to show us all the way,
In a world of harsh divisions,
Bringing hope to those who stray.
For the ones who face oppression,
Gender, sexuality,
Jesus stands with open arms,
Offering true equality.

Infant holy, infant lowly,
Born to heal and born to save,
In a world of pain and sorrow,
Giving strength to those who crave.
For the ones with disabilities,
Feeling left out and alone,
Jesus brings His grace and comfort,
Making every heart His home.

Full disclosure, ChatGPT has been utilised in the developing of this revised version of the Infant Holy, Infant Lowly which touches on current affairs with reference to those who are discriminated against due to their race, age, gender, sexuality, and/or disabilities, while incorporating biblical references by or about Jesus (Luke 2:14, John 1:9, Luke 4:18, John 14:6, Isaiah 61:1, Matthew 11:28-30, Galatians 3:28, Matthew 9:35, Luke 14:13-14). The hope is that, amidst the division and suffering, a message of peace, justice, hope and reconciliation remains.
