Anticipation

 

Awaiting the miracle

I look to my life and wonder

 

What if?

Mary never said

ÒBe it done unto me according to Thy willÓ

 

And in this special time of year

I look at what is asked of me

 

I look to the things IÕve said yes to

And wonder

What if I had not done so?

 

I look to the things I have said no to

And wonder

What if I had not done so?

 

Her ÒyesÓ opened the gates of heaven

To the greatest miracle since creation

The birth of Jesus

Changing the future of humanity

 Forever

 

He knows all and is all powerful

Yet He waits for me

To open my heart to Him

Waiting for my ÒYesÓ

 

In these four weeks of preparation

For a time of new birth and new life in Him

May I put away all fear | and hold on to His love

                        May I put away all doubt | and open up to all hope 

May I no longer turn a deaf ear | and listen with my heart

May I overcome my blindness | and see with eyes of love

 

Then listening anew to His Baptismal call

With steady voice I will clearly answer

 ÒYesÓ.

Be it done to me according to thy will.
