We
thank You Lord
for
this Advent season
for
these days numbered
before
we stop to celebrate,
The
birthday of our Savior,
the
Risen Jesus Christ
We
thank You Lord
for
the light burning brighter
two
candles in the circle
that
we lit this morning,
A
reminder of our hope, and
Your
call to bring light into the darkness
We
thank You Lord
for
the message we will receive
from
one of the voices of Advent,
One
of those who was there, Mary,
our
Savior’s teenage mother
We
thank You Lord
for
what You have given us
in
the Babe in the manger
and
the Man on the cross,
We
give You a token of what You have given;
Use
these gifts for Your glory here on earth
Amen
