Advent

We are all lost in what has gone wrong

Hoping for the day to come when

It will all be put right

We've been here so long

It's like we've been here forever

What does it look like

When things are put right?

What does it feel like

To be full of right instead of wrong?

Will the day ever come for us

When we know what's right?

Will we always be stuck here?

All we can hope for

Is for things to be put right.

Christmas

So long we have anticipated it

Now we can see it coming through

It seemed like forever

But now it's here.

Now we can celebrate

The Kingdom has come

Filling the earth with the peace and joy

Of love and life.

Now we can all see

Just let your eyes be opened.

Feel the peace of the Spirit in your souls.

All the other are no more,

Just celebrate.

It is all new and now all we can do

Is celebrate.

- Lydia Rentschler

Crimson

I scream for the mercy

Lost in shadow and obscurity.

Things lost forever that cannot be found

Things of past and present

Things that are as precious

As life itself

But are veiled in a midst

That seems to ever increase.

O God,

My Jesus,

Help me fight this blackness

That intends to swallow me

And take me from your presence.

Wrap me in your ever loving embrace.

Don't leave me tonight.

Give me strength to go on.

Without you I'm blind.

Help me tonight.

Help me tonight.

Thank you,

O Father.

Thank you.
