welcome to our world

Caleb Garrison Coan was born at 1:55 AM on September 15 to our great joy! He weighs 8 lbs, 10½ oz. and is 21'' long. Caleb is happily meeting family and friends as they come by for a turn at holding him.

When I look at this awesome incarnation of love, how can I not think of the Incarnation of Love!

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 would 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

Welcome to our World by Chris Rice


Caleb

faithful, faithful as a dog

But My servant Caleb, because he has a different spirit in him and has followed Me fully, I will bring into the land where he went, and his descendants shall inherit it.

Numbers 14:24

Garrison

a strong tower, an outpost fortified as a military stronghold to protect, defend, and advance

You are indeed my rock and my fortress
for your name's sake lead me and guide me

Psalm 31:3

  • Congrats, Coan clan! I wish I could have been there for the arrival of newest member of the family, but I guess I'll just have to send my prayers and hopes over the internet. I know that Caleb will be raised in a family where he will be able to see the move of God from even now. May he grow to be a faithful tower of strength to all those around him. I love you guys!!
