Witnesses Today

And so we wait
with great anticipation.
God from God,
Light from Light.
We wait to hear a crying child
in a stable,
a mother singing sweet melodies
to her infant.
We wait to see shepherds
kneel
before the glories in the sky
and wise men bow in homage.

And then we wait again,
to see the stone
rolled from the entrance of an empty tomb,
to hear Mary's wonderful news
brought to the apostles.
We long to feel the joy
spreading through the upper room
when their Lord,
Master
and Friend stands before them,
Alive.



Yet we
who are witnesses today,
need not wait.
The child,
given by the Father,
is here to be in your hearts
everyday.
He has grown to become a man.
He died
for every blemish on every soul
and He longs to stand beside you
in every room and every place.

How fortunate are we!
