An Advent Prayer
Among the poor,
Among the proud
Among the persecuted
Among the privileged
Christ is Coming
In the private house
In the market place
In the wedding feast
In the judgement hall
Christ is Coming
With a gentle touch
With an angry word
With a clear conscience
With burning love
Christ is Coming
That the kingdom might come
That the world might believe
That the powerful might stumble
That the humble might be raised
Christ is coming
With us
Without us
Among us
Before us
In this place
In every place
For this time
For all time
Christ is Coming
He is coming to make all things new.
