First Sunday of Advent - Hope
I hope some old and new posts, with old and new music, will be an encouragement during this season.
“Sometimes you need to sing your way into the truth.” Sara Hagerty, quoted in Adore.
Advent is a time to show up and sing your way into the truth whether you feel like it or not. The words of Isaiah 40 are a perfect way to begin:
“Comfort ye, my people…” from Handel’s Messiah
Do you feel comforted? Encouraged to look up and anticipate God working? I tend to when I hear the beginning of this. I know the entire Messiah was composed to be performed at Easter, but this bit is a perfect beginning to Advent, don’t you think?
