Distance

The time approaches,Advent is nigh
That innocent child, sent from on high,
Will to our sinful earth descend
And for our sad sins meet his end

Out of the death of crucified Christ
 Has for us our redemption sufficed
 Had not that man ever been born
 We would not of our sins be shorn.

Since then our world has grown
Tired of the road He has us shown
Now we live adrift and rudderless
Pain abounding, lives in a mess

That time approaches ,Easter  soon nigh
When chocolate eggs we will all buy
