Welcome To Our World - The Petersens (LIVE)

Welcome to another Christmas season with The Petersens on YouTube! We will have four new Christmas songs (we hope) to share with you all this year and this Chris Rice song was the perfect way to begin.

Emmett and Katie did a beautiful job with the arrangement and vocals.

Enjoy!

►LYRICS - Welcome To Our World
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

So 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
A 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

The prettiest song I've heard Emmet and Katie do. I love the whole band, but the voice of these two blend so well together. A beautiful song!!!!

[janok]

Katie and Emmett's duets have always been something special and beautiful in their harmony.

[BRADYHANKS]

Emmet Franz has that soul and depth when he sings. Great band, all of you!

[jsigur]

Everybody is a good singer in this group!

[brianrobertson]

Katie's and Emmet's voices fit together like a glove. Warms my heart.

[fiberfancies]

Sweet! It's nice to hear Katie and Emmet as the lead singers.

The world is a better place because the Petersens decided to make music as a family. God bless you all this Christmas season!!!

I've never heard this beautiful song before. Now, my favorite ever. But I'll take my leave now to dry my tears. What a blessed day.

I´m from Bavaria, Germany. I found you here on YouTube years ago and have been following you ever since. I love your songs. Thank you for letting me enjoy your music.

[YuriLitvintsev]

May God send you light on your way!Thank you for the tears and joy!🎼❤

Katie and Emmett sang together again. Very beautiful duet. And a special harmony of Katie's fiddle. Wonderful...

[emmajo]

I’ve listened to the Katie & Emmett version of “Come to Jesus, ” so MANY times, and now I get to hear this special version of a Chris Rice Christmas song, with Katie and Emmett working their magic again+ the rest of the band enhancing it all!

What did I do to deserve this great joy?

I dunno, but I’m glad God let me have it!

This was beautiful- inside and out in every way! 🥰

[jimbertram]

I was privileged to hear this last night live in Dayton. Exceptional!!

[AMX]

American perfection, thank you Emmet and Katie.

I`m deep touched by the duet parts of Katie and Emmett! :)

[lyndagray]

Beautiful song and arrangement. Emmett and Katie do a great harmony. You guys are just awesome. I loved seeing you live in UK, it was just brilliant. Thank you ❤❤

[jrbailey]

He's got a Paul Simon vibe to his voice; deeply and with great resonance.

[nealguentzel]

What an incredibly inspirational and beautiful Christmas song done only as The Petersens can do. Emmett and Katie always sing so wonderfully together plus the magic of the whole band make this a new favorite of so many favorite Christmas songs by the band. WATCH IT, you will be so glad that you did!
