wait - prepare - celebrate
The winter darkness steals the light
and seems that that it will not abate,
but we know that isn't right,
and in the long cold night we wait,
not without an ache of yearning
that can sometimes turn to pain
for the winter season's turning
to bring forth green spring again.
In the year, so 'tis in life,
waiting for a coming dawn
that will put an end to stife,
unchaining Mercy to move on
and cross the land on golden wings,
the Risen Saviour, King Of Kings.
Beautiful, Andrew. Thank you for sharing! Blessings on your Advent.
June, blessings back!
'It occurred to me that the Old Testament is really one big Advent calendar!'
June, I never thought of it that way! Thank you for this fresh yet ancient perspective.
