It is a time

The Advent seasons
the days watching the star
waiting for the Christ-child
the moment of His birth

It is a time
a time of reflection
contemplating what it means
the power of His sacrifice

Hope, Love came to earth
mercy came down
come to save the world
to bring us back to Him

God knew us then as now
powerless to save
needing the cross, the grave
to free us of our chains

Yes, it is a time
to humbly remember
and to look forward to his promise
to come again in glory
