Advent Reflection: Week 1, Day 1

Advent Reflection: Week 1, Day 1 November 29, 2011

A Waiting Hymn  (tune: Greensleeves)Show us the way to Bethlehm, O Prophet you have spoken.

You listened in the darkest night, God’s silence now is broken.

       Chorus

Show us the way to Bethlehem, God’s chosen mother, Mary.

With you we wait with joy to see the miracle you carry.

      Chorus

Show us the way to Bethlehem, you Shepherds in your wonder.

Your star, a sign that joy has come, and evil lies asunder.

      Chorus

Show us the way to Bethlehem, all you who know this story.

The wilderness behind us now, we see God’s waking glory.

       Chorus:

Teach, teach us how to wait, for secrets in God’s keeping.

Lead, lead us to the place, where God, the child, lies sleeping.

**Feel free to use in worship. Just give me cred for the lyrics. Thanks!
