This Advent song is an antidote to the melancholy that is sometimes encouraged among Christians during this season. It is a time to look up in anticipation, to remind ourselves that Christ has come and will come again. Examining ourselves, asking forgiveness for our sins, longing for God to move in our lives and throughout the world, praying for His kingdom come, His will be done…these are ongoing disciplines that know no season.
Advent should vibrate with the energy of expectation. Slip some Christmas carols in among the Advent ones - He has come! He will come again! Prepare ye the way of the Lord!
