advent is Coming 2024

Soon a time to repent will come When winter captures the west, East will summer then enjoy No matter; season comes to quest. Forty-five days to advent time When all prepare for Christmas chime. Then in the wilderness a voice will shout ‘Prepare ye the way of the Lord’, Are we ready to prepare our lives or shall We be busy with our own record: Whose cake is best, dressed and spruced From the stalls of styles reduced? Are we busy, souls to clean and dress Preparing in our heart a fresh room Or with an outfitter spending hours To look the best in hair and plume? Then with decorating our lounge and stair We are busy, but not for our spirit care. ‘Prepare ye the way of the Lord’ May just be a distant cry, For we are all busy doing things Not actually knowing the reason why. Let’s for once, open our ears to the Word And contemplate on our Saviour’s birth.
