We come into this sanctuary
with the season wrapped
around us
images of Christmas
and this Advent before us
We know the days are filling
commotion all around
we get caught up
in the chaos around us
We thank you for Jesus
for the manger, for the
cross
may we always remember
that the gift bore a cost
We gather together
in worship, in hope
may we be your faithful
servants
while we walk the earth
We offer these tithes
these offerings of love
we pray you would use them
on this earth for your work
