A Season of Hope – v2



We are waiting, expectantly
for the coming of the angels,
His parents, Mary and Joseph,
for the shepherds, the animals,
for the birth of the Star, the Babe,
and the wise men, the coming
of the Christmas miracle, the Epiphany,
the telling of the same story,
never old in the remembering
of the moment when Mary gave birth
to the One who was to come
to save His people, the one God
The only begotten Son
to rescue us all from our sin,
from the divide we created
between us and God,
the father, the mother
holy mediator, arbitrator,
the sacrificial lamb of God
Waiting as they did, even in the retelling
because it is a timeless story
of infinity, love and good
that we need to hear, remember
until we all get the message
and finally believe
