Advent: Hope

 

As we wait

for our time

to catch up

to your eternity,

we hope in you,

Ancient of Days.

See us here

in our distress

and give us a vision

beyond division.

Love, captivate our hearts

held captive by hate.

Faith, deliver us

from the fate of despair.

We pray for the day

when Joy will swell

in the wake of truth and justice.

Do not leave us here

cold and alone,

shivering in the night.

Awaken us to the light of grace

by the kiss of mercy

and the touch of compassion.

Speed the day

when earth shall be as heaven

for we have long suffered

these unfulfilled longings.

Come, Lord Jesus.
