Hold onto Advent

Hold onto Advent

for the joy of the season

for we have surely lost Christmas

in the shopping, the glitter

Hold onto Advent

the couple, the Christ-child

the journey of expectancy

of the coming Savior

Hold onto Advent

not just this season

the life we long for

alive in Christ Jesus
