3rd Sunday of Advent


Matthew 11:2-11

Are you the one
Who is to come
The one prepared for from before all time
(the blind see)
Are you the one
Claimed by the thunder crack
And the dove gently coming down
(the lame walk)
Are you the one for whom I baptized
Calling one and all to run
From the life of games
To the calling of God
(the deaf hear)
You seem so gentle
Not what I expected
When I first leapt in my mothers womb
Not what I expected
Out there at the river’s edge
Not what I expected
(new life)
And yet somehow
(good news for the poor)
