Advent Canticle: Waiting
We wait,
We anticipate.
The promised day draws nigh…
Rend the heavens, O Lord - come down.
Shake the mountains before you; your name
Make known to us. Eyes have not seen
Nor have ears ever heard
Any God but you…
We wait.
Based upon Isaiah 64, The Holy Bible, Revised Standard Version

Post a CommentBack in the old days (smile) we sang religious songs from many faiths in choir (a public school, no less) and I love reading the words in poems like this. Thanks for the beautiful words.
Back to visit - hope to see more pictures and writing soon.

Thanks for capturing the true spirit of the season. So many people believe Advent is simply a name for parties and celebrations.
I really enjoyed this!
