Beyond the moon and stars, as deep as night,
So great our hunger, Lord, to see your light.
The sparrow finds her home beneath your wing,
So may we come to rest where angels sing.
Our eyes have longed to see your loving face,
To live within your courts for all our days.
Your roads have led us, Lord, 'cross desert sand.
We place our hopes and dreams within your hand.
Upon our darkness, Lord, a light has shone.
You came to dwell with us in flesh and bone.
With shining stars at night, and cloud by day,
you brought us here to see your love's display.
When life’s great journey ends, and day is done,
Then may our eyes behold your Holy One.
(Dan Shutte)
“The season of Advent means there is something on the horizon the likes of which we have never seen before. It is not possible to keep it from coming, because it will. That’s just how Advent works. What is possible is to not see it, to miss it, to turn just as it brushes past you. And you begin to grasp what it was you missed, like Moses in the cleft of the rock, watching God’s hindquarters fade in the distance. So, Stay. Sit. Linger. Tarry. Ponder. Wait. Behold. Wonder. There will be time enough For running. For rushing. For worrying. For pushing. For now, stay. Wait. Something is on the horizon.”From Night Vision – Jan Richardson
