ALL YEAR LONG!
CHRISTMAS is coming=
The Lord is COMING!
Don't you wish we could-
FEEL the good will and peace
All year long?
ALL YEAR LONG!
Feel the love and compassion
For each other=
All year long
“In the tender compassion
Of our God-
The dawn from high
Shall break upon us=
To SHINE on those
Who dwell in darkness
And the shadow of death
And guide our feet
Into the way of PEACE” Luke1:78-79
Today=the canticle of Zechariah
Calls our attention
To God's DIRECT INTERVENTION
In our lives
God called to Zechariah
And brought him his son John
WHEN it looked like=
He could never
Have a child
With his wife-Elizabeth
TENDERLY=God comes to us
And embraces us=
God comes to us
During Christmas season
And ALL YEAR LONG!
And our God remains with us
All year long!
“A thousand YEARS
In your sight
Are like a day
That has just one by
Or like a watch
In the night” Psalm 90:4
“But do not forget
This one thing
With the Lord
A day is like
A THOUSAND YEARS
And a thousand YEARS
Are like a day” 2 Peter 3:8
“He seized the dragon
That ancient serpent=
Who is the devil=or Satan
And bound him
For a THOUSAND YEARS” Revelation 20:2
We have WAITED all year long
For the COMING of our Jesus=
We have prepared
All through ADVENT
We await the coming of Christ=
The LIGHT of the world
And his INTERVENTION
Zechariah's voice
Bursts with POETIC PRAISE
And gratitude=He reminds us
Of our own role
In PROCLAIMING the
Good news of God and Christ=
And to tell the world
ALL YEAR LONG!
We may walk in darkness
But Christ is the LIGHT=
So we are never alone
ALL YEAR LONG!
“If you REMAIN in me
And my words
REMAIN in you
Ask whatever you wish
And it will be
Done for you” John 15:7
CHRISTMAS DAY
Comes but once a year
But our Lord
Remains with us-
Guiding us towards peace
In everything that we do
ALL YEAR LONG!
In Jesus' name=and in the name=of our FOREVER GUIDING FATHER!
