Advent Song

For generations we’ve been waiting Lifetimes spent anticipating Our Messiah, Who will come to set His people free. We concentrate on preparation So we’ll be a holy nation When He comes with power, glory and in majesty. Wise men, prophets, seers and sages Spoke to us down through the ages Of the Lord’s anointed one, destined to be King. So we wait for His appearing Knowing that the time is nearing When He’ll come in majesty and peace will He bring. Meanwhile, in stable, In a manger lay a Child. Sent by God that to Him we may all be reconciled. And angels sang His praises For the prophecy’s fulfilled. God’s peace come down from heaven to all people of goodwill. From Advent into Christmas We wait and we prepare. As did those ancient peoples, we make ourselves aware Our Savior will be coming And soon He will be here. Be diligent in watching for when He will appear.
