Christmas approaches
With the burden of tradition.
With the burden of tradition.
The city is decorated in holiday glitz.
We search for gifts amid the crowds.
Shouldn't we read the prophet's words?
Shouldn't we read the prophet's words?
Shouldn't we search for the Bethlehem babe?
Shouldn't we listen for the angel's message?
"Peace on Earth."
An old tradition calls to us from the past.
We, who abandoned the trappings of the Church,
Are called once more to Advent.
Let us remember
That a child born two thousand years ago
That a child born two thousand years ago
Changed the world.
His message is simple and unadorned.
Love God
And Love your neighbor.
Listen for His words.
"I am come."
