We asked our community to creatively interact with our advent themes and submit their creations to that we could share and celebrate them together.
Here are the lyrics of the song created by Sheleena Boulianne that we have been singing in our services for the month of December.
Verse 1
Longing for light
Longing for daybreak
A good world made for peace
Broken by suffering
You’re setting all things right
Redemption of all things
We set our hope on you
On the light that’s breaking through
Chorus
New day dawning
Rising sun
Baby born now
The Holy One has come
Bringing mercy
For all we need
Holy Child of Light, we’ve waited
Now we give you everything
Verse 2
Still now our hearts
Cling to the dark
Unsure of how to hope
Wondering how to feel
Created for the light
But shrinking into the night
We need your help to see
The light that’s breaking free
Chorus ...Now we give you everything...
Bridge
All our worship
All our praise
All our attention
Every moment of every day
All our fear
All our pain
All our stubborn love of darkness
All our broken ways
Chorus
