Wanting to be open
God’s plan working out in me
Giving over my will
turning my life over to His
Our clay not yet hardened
awash in shimmering color
here on the earth being
molding
into the image of Christ
Doing our part now
spending time in the Word
sharing our witness, our
blessings
to the end of the earth
In the waiting, the journey
coming closer to God
waiting for the moment, the
gathering
rising up from the world

Our Work Unfinished
In the waiting
the Advent, coming of Christ
we must continue
our work unfinished
sharing the good news
Joining the heavenly chorus
the saints up in the sky
heralding the coming of the
king
the Messiah, arise
Sing with the angels
hark, hear the news,
in the night of this world
Christ has come to save
love come down to earth
to bring us home to God

that the good news of Christ’s birth

closer to that day of peace. In the name of Christ at
whose
