2nd Sunday in Advent

Luke 3:1-6

John came with the message
Prepare
Prepare your hearts
-----minds
----------lives
for the one who is to come
and is here
fill the world with the love
that we
----on this side of the cross
know came into the world
on that lonely night
when all the world broke for the light
and song
and the angels sang with the shepherds
Joy
Joy be to this world
Joy be in your hearts
----Immanuel has come
Prepare ye the way
In a world filled with hatred
And walls
And change
Prepare in your heart
Prepare in your world
For the One of whom John spoke
Immanuel
God with us.
