Standing in the Shadow of the Cross



Second day of winter, before Christmas
standing in the shadow of the cross

The cold, Advent
waiting for the coming
the birth of the king
The Christ-child
born, laid in the manger

Joy, peace, love come down
saving us, climbing the cross for us

Rising, ascending
that we may join him, with God
in our heavenly home
