The advent of Christ
the source of our salvation
Night is about over
Christ’s work almost done
The teaching of our Savior
His witness, His lessons
His life our guide
on how we should live
Stay awake for His coming
our Savior to the earth
redeeming us from ourselves
giving us eternal life

Be Up and About
Wake from your slumber
focus on Christ
Turn from the world
turn from your sleep
Be up and about
our salvation is near
Christ will return
coming to the earth
We should sing
joy in our hearts
waiting for our King
the coming of the Christ

In Victory
In His glory
in victory over death
God coming again
to judge the living and the dead
Christ will come
on the chariots of the sky
descending from the heavens
that no more will his people die
We wait for that day
with hearts open wide
hopeful in his coming
to rise with him alone
Wanting to see
the face of our living God
to enter into his courts
to find our eternal home
The advent calls us
to prepare our human hearts
to ready our lives
for the coming of the Lord
We must be ready
for we know not the time or place
the return of the Christ
to gather his people home

On the Clouds
Not just in the manger
the image of Christ
Not just on the cross
descending to the dead
Not even just on Easter
rising from the grave
Not in his ascension
rising to the skies
On the clouds
in victory
the triumphant God
redeemed all his people
ready to call them home
coming to gather in
the living and the dead

God in His glory
descending again
We are to remember
the gift of old
the Christ-child descending

the gathering in
Christ will come again in glory

Ready for Your Coming
I want to be ready for Your coming
each Adventide
hearing the angel chorus
their singing on high
To see Your star
its rising in the night
bringing light into the darkness
proof of our new life
Knowing Your promise
to come once again
bringing us in victory
to our heavenly home
Calling in the night
when we least expect it
needing to keep our oil ready
when the bridegroom comes for us

In the Presence of Jesus
In the presence of Jesus
our risen, living Savior
rising to the heavens
in his glory revealed
Waiting for the day
of his triumphant coming
to redeem his own
to our heavenly homes
Coming in glory
in the brilliance of victory
on the clouds of the heavens
gathering us in
In Advent waiting
for the Savior
the babe in the manger
and our King on the clouds

Love Come Down
Love come down
down to the earth
the Son with us
giving us new birth
Hope in the Lord
in his grace abounding
raining down on us
from heaven above
Life in the coming
the coming of Jesus
saving us from sin
from the ways of the world
Leading us to glory
if we would follow
waiting for our king
coming to save us all

Teaching Us
Christ will teach us
teaching us his ways
that we may live
walking all of our days
Only through him
through the gate of Christ
able to come before God
walking in his courts
Christ alone, the lamb
the living Son of God
born to save
all his life foretold
Guided by his Word
the lessons of his life
leading us on
into his brilliant light

Ancient Words of Prophecy
Ancient words of prophecy
foretelling his birth
the lowly virgin
the town where he lay
The village of his heritage
the root of his line
all of them come together
in the Christ, the first-born
So hard to imagine
the world’s response to him
the powerful, the leaders
the people far and near
So many expectations
defined by the world
not paying attention
to the promises revealed
God’s plan worked out
his promises he kept
the birth of our savior
just as scripture had said
Coming to earth
to redeem the whole world
dying and rising
just as God had foretold

Hope in this Season
Hope in this season
the days number, counted down
leading to the star, to the angels
the shepherds, his holy birth
All of them richly
the imagery washing over us
drenching us with the coming
the birth of the Son
Hope in this season
the meaning of love
God’s grace revealed
in him sending his Son
The hope for the ages
for all of mankind
leading us to heaven
in his rising into the light

We need these days
The days of Advent
at the beginning of the year
the story of the Christ-child
of God coming near
We need these days
to enter the spirit
the meaning of Christmas
more than we can comprehend
Needing these days
slowing our thinking
drinking in the waters
pouring down on us
Coming to know
to see the Christ-child
as the ultimate gift
God’s love for us all

With Our Hands Empty
With our hands empty
like the Pharisees, the others
the bridegroom coming
with us with empty lamps
Are we truly ready
believing in the Christ-child
the one who had been foretold
the Messiah’s holy birth
Needing this season
the guiding of his star
needing the days of waiting
to prepare our doubting hearts
Will we be ready
when he comes down to the earth

The Season’s Purpose
Not about the presents
the tinsel, the garland
the trees we cut and carry
standing in our homes
Not even about the giving
the sharing of our bounty
the present we exchange
as witness to our love
The season’s purpose
retelling the coming
the promise of his coming
in victory to come
The Christ coming before us
into our consciousness
calling us to him
if we would truly believe
The story of the Christ-child
the love of Jesus
God’s grace in the power
of his humble birth
God redeeming
reclaiming his creation
restoring all who would follow
who would take up their cross
Specific instructions
in the life of Jesus
in the words of his witness
in his commands to his flock
That we would end our days
as we begin this season
humbly worshipping
the depths of God’s love
God’s love unending
his grace without end
bringing us to him
at the foot of the cross

The Panic of Advent
Causing us to focus
to remember the Christ-child
leading us into worship
the liturgical year
The panic of advent
not about gifts or pageants
but a changing of our lives
focused on this child
All of our days
measured by our service
if we truly follow
the calling from within
The Christ-child living
in the Spirit indwelling
calling us ever
to conform to the his ways
The panic of advent
like the maidens needing oil
that we are totally unprepared
for the coming of our King
That the bridegroom could come
at an unknown hour
calling us to account
for all of our days
Are we ready
the question each advent
are we waiting
with hope in our hearts
Or are we like the leaders
who denied the Christ-child
who tortured and murdered
the King that had been foretold

The Shock of the Leaders
Would we be so different
if the advent was now
if we had been waiting
for a Messiah of power
of the leader to come
from the root of Jesse
a shoot of David
to sit on the throne
Would we have been so different
like the shock of the leaders
a messiah in the stable
wrapped in swaddling clothes
no matter the scripture
blind to its reading
unable to comprehend
the wisdom of the divine
Would we have been so different
if Christ came among us
overturning the tables
calling us to believe
to change from the world
our oil not ready
to follow our shepherd
in the way of the cross

if the advent was now
if we had been waiting
for a Messiah of power
of the leader to come
from the root of Jesse
a shoot of David
to sit on the throne
Would we have been so different
like the shock of the leaders
a messiah in the stable
wrapped in swaddling clothes
no matter the scripture
blind to its reading
unable to comprehend
the wisdom of the divine
Would we have been so different
if Christ came among us
overturning the tables
calling us to believe
to change from the world
our oil not ready
to follow our shepherd
in the way of the cross

The Alarm of Your Advent
Your coming unplanned
in a time of God’s choosing
Your advent alarms us
setting us off balance
not in control
the illusion we enjoy
in this time and place
as we walk on the earth
The advent of Jesus
the coming of God
descending from the heavens
to fulfill the word
The promise of old
of his coming down
to heal the brokenness
to give up his crown
Changing our lives forever
if we change our focus
to the babe, the Christ-child
the one who walked the earth
Ours to follow
to answer God’s calling
to humble ourselves
as he did in the garden
The Christ’s coming
a challenge for the ages
not just those in Jerusalem
but for all of the age
To give up control
the illusion we cherish
to turn our lives over
over only unto God

Our First Candle
A candle of peace
not of this earth
of the Savior,
the one who came down
who lived among us
giving up his crown
A candle of peace
that God can only give
reconciling us to him
that we would truly live
Witnesses now
while we walk the earth
until his coming again
when we will have new birth

The Light Shining
We must wake from our slumber
the light shining in the night
piercing the darkness
bringing us hope
God loves us
so much that he sent his son
living and dying
that we all may be one
One people, one body
Christ as the head
sharing the good news
going as we are led
Out into the world
carrying the light into the darkness
waking the world with the good news
Our savior has come!

Misdirected Frenzy
The season corrupted
misdirected frenzy
chasing for bargains
to have this or that
All of it a distraction
a temptation from the enemy
to steal the joy of this moment
the reason for the season
Christ came to earth!
Let us not forget this
God came from heaven
to heal our brokenness
We are the messengers
the ones in this time
to shine his light into the darkness
in this world, to all mankind

Pause in Our Rushing
Maybe unable to stop
the world calling
in this holiday season
But maybe enough
to pause in our rushing
coming to your throne
to feel your grace
the warmth of your embrace
Feeling anew
the coming of our Lord
descending from above
from his heavenly home
Walking as a man
on this mortal coil
knowing the sweat of work
the yoke of human toil
Pausing in our rushing
going round about
sitting at our savior’s feet
feeling his endless love
Stopping the world
at least in bits and pieces
coming before our maker
the source of all that is good
Feeling anew
the magic of the season
the coming of our savior
the reason for our joy
Walking with the Christ-child
baptized into his service
going with our servant king
in the way of humbleness

Your Star Rising
Your star rising
shining in the night
into the dark world
making the darkness bright
Coming to save us
by your descending to the earth
sealing the rift between us
between man and our God
The babe, the man
the one who climbed the cross
all to fulfill the prophecies
paying an awful cost
Healing us, redeeming us
bringing us back to God
following our master
in the way of the cross

Look to the East
Look to the East
to the rising son
the light of the world
come down to our home
God alive, in the Christ

Christ Is King
The Word made flesh
God in this world
walking as a man
born a humble birth
Ruling on high
the beginning and the end
waiting for his kingdom
his reign to never end
Alive with us now
in the Spirit in our hearts
waiting for his coming
to return to our lives
His presence growing
washing over us
healing our brokenness
wrapping us in his peace

Call Us into Your Presence
Oh Lord we pray together
our prayer of invocation
that you would be with us
in this season as adventide
We pray you would call us
call us into your presence
that we would sense you with us
during this wondrous time
Waiting for the Christ-child
the babe in the manger
waiting for His coming again
in power and victory
We ask you to bless us
all of this season
that we would be your messengers
to the ends of the earth

Advent is Here
The time of waiting
of longing for the Christ
the coming of the babe
the advent of Christ
Advent is here
to center our lives
worship for the whole year
his walk on this earth
Enter the living waters
the Word alive
descended from the heavens
that we would have life
Following the path
written long ago
the prophecies fulfilled
in his life here below
God taking on our stain
the guilt of our sin
paying our price
that our new life may begin

God is Coming
We celebrate
We should shout
God is Coming
down to the earth
Christ alive
living in us
speaking the good news
to the ends of the earth
We are waiting
but do we share the good news
the grace of God
bringing us back to him
We should be singing
shouting from the mountaintops
God is coming
to heal the whole earth!

Fear Not the Lord
Fear not the Lord
His coming today
follow his path
his call every day
Leading to God
by the way of the cross
using our gifts
to reach the least, the lost
Ours to spread the good news
the coming of the king
to prepare the way
of his victory in this place
Sharing the good news
to the ends of the earth
making disciples in his name
that all would have new birth

healing the breach
reconciling us to God
announcing his peace
Love poured down
washing us clean
God alive with us
leading us to Him

redeeming our lives
if we follow his call
Leading us to God
through the narrow gate
accepting the servanthood

our light hidden
arise from our sleeping
to share the good news
The coming of the Christ
Your coming, Your blessing
Awaken our worship
that we would do Your will
Leave the world behind us
stepping out in our faith
the story of His coming
needs to be told to the earth

Wake us from drowsy worship
Let your advent awaken us
wake us from drowsy worship
without your Spirit
going through rituals
without our focus on you
Let your advent change us
renew our faith in you
May we see your face
your love wash over us
in all we say and do

The Riches of Your Love
Oh let us share
the good news of Christ
the riches of your love
in the Word made flesh
Let us wait,
expectant for our king
a story to tell
and song to sing
Oh share the news
Christ came to earth
living among us
that we would have new birth
Leading us to God
in the way of servanthood
love for our neighbors
all the people on earth

In this Season
Praying to feel you
especially now
in this season of hope
in the coming of God
Down to the earth
in the first act of sacrifice
giving up the crown
accepting the cross

waiting for our king
the year just starting
oh let our joy begin

Hope – 2
Hope in this season
in the coming of Christ
hope for a reason
that he came to the earth
Wanting to sense him
as if new, for the first time
the presence of God with us
in your heart and mine
God gifting us Jesus
his Son, part of him
sent down to save us
new life found in him
Hope we would journey
like the Magi to the Christ-child
hope in his coming
to bring us home to him

fill us with fire

Called to Thanksgiving
In a spirit of praise
called to thanksgiving
to praise to our God
The source of what was
what is, what will be
all that is good
comes from you, Oh Lord
From ancient times
the people of faith ever
called to sing your praise

Those who received him
Those who received him
those able to believe
for us a gift of glory
through him we are restored
God coming to the earth
descending to the dust
rising in victory, glorious
in him alone do we trust
Our lives changed forever
when we come to believe
turning from the ways of the earth
turning to the Lord indeed
Living in the shadow
following into the light
turning from the world, in darkness
following the way of life
