From the morning service we did on Sunday (probably should have posted about that first, oops!), I thought I'd share this with you. Seemed kind of appropriate for today...
A child, a baby boy
The hope of the world?
A baby?
Born in a stable 2000 years ago?
Such a hopeless place
All earth was in darkness
Watching, waiting.
And you were there.
In the midst of it all
Into the darkness of that night,
You came, bringing hope
A child is born to us,
A son given to us
His reign is forever
Bringing endless peace.
Love, joy and hope to all nations
For in him, in this baby, was life,
And this life was light
The light of the world
No matter how heavy the darkness
The light shines and is never extinguished
It continues, and increases forever
A candle in the darkness
A city on a hill
Shining for all to see
And the light brings hope
Hope to calm our fears
Hope to ease our pain
Hope to make us glad
Light in our darkness
Joy in our suffering
Showing the way
When we're lost or afraid
Bringing comfort
When the way is rough
We are no longer in darkness
But bathed in the light of Christ
Tell out the Good News
The darkness is banished
And light has dawned
Humble shepherds,
Worshipping kings
Joyous angels,
Ordinary people- you and me
Take heed, keep watch,
He is coming
to dwell among us
Glory be to God in heaven
For he has sent to us a saviour
He has come to us
And abides with us
Now and always
May the hope of this baby boy be with you this advent xx
