Orange, reds, and yellows gleam in the trees
Rainy, cold and wet
The blessings of autumn fall to the ground
Barren trees stand to face another winter
Darkness comes quicker
Depression and death seem near
But something is lurking
Lurking in the shadows
The hope and promise of a birth
One like no other
Foretold by men of old
A single star on a dark cold night
Lights the way for you and me.
Fall is fading and winter is nearer
But so is the Messiah and the songs of angels
All heaven will move at the groans and pains
the labor of love, God’s gift to us.
So smile as the trees empty their leaves
amid a chill in the air,
because you know that Advent is not far away.
Come Advent of God and show us the way
Light our world as we wait, watch and pray.
