In the advents of our lives

We wait, we anticipate, we watch,

For things and times and events,

For reasons and awakening.

In the advents of our lives ,

We look for change, for moments,

For truth and light and life,

For grace and strengthening.

In the advents of our lives

We long for, and desire deeply

For the new, for the promised

For Your presence and love

In the advents of our lives

We await new beginnings

New starts and new direction

To our lives, a new future

In the advents of our lives

We look forward and up

With strength and hope

In what we are to become

This advent dear Jesus

I look to Your birth,

With new excitement,

For a new heart, a new life

This advent I prepare and ready myself

For the greatest Gift from heaven to man,

Of You to me and me to You,

In communion together, forever.
