Advent of the King

Advent of the King

Silent Night

Holy Night

I think I may

I think I might

Wonder if we've gone so wrong

Do we even know what is right?

The days are filled again with ads

Of 3D games and new IPads

Of things that surely we must have

To ease life’s pain and be our salve

So we may just keep going on

The road so wide instead of the narrow path.

But as we live so lukewarm day to day

Will we hear the one who says, prepare the way

Or just go about our lives in dismay

Blinded to the arrival of our hope and stay

With the victory already won

Will the words Jesus is Lord be what we pray?

But one will be taken and another left

Joy and sorrow in such glorious theft

Some shouting for joy and some bereft

Where do you stand in this judgment cleft

Without the Lamb of God, who is his Son

Or washed in his blood with steps both blessed and deft.

And one day we will see him coming on the clouds

The trump will sound much louder than loud

And heaven will celebrate with such renown

That every soul will in joy abound

When Christ the Kings comes and rules as the Son

Love has won the victory and all will astound.

We do so wish that this day would come soon

Even if trouble must first come to the sun and the moon.

For we know what to do in the words of a familiar tune

Let every heart prepare him room

And heaven and nature will sing on and on

And every trouble and tear will be long gone.
