Greetings …

To continue the poem from last week – The Four Candles of Advent, written by Royston Allen.

                     The candle of JOY:
                     The candle is burning, it’s flame so bright
                        and joy floods the soul to our delight.
                     For the Light of Life has shon upon us
                        bringing joy so perfect and marvellous.

                     Joy unspeakable and full of glory
                        as we remember the Christmas story.
                     How the Almighty God had come to Earth
                        born as a baby by a virgin birth.

                     The candle of LOVE:
                     The candle of God’s love burns ever bright,
                        brightening up even the darkest night.
                     It turns water into precious wine
                        and these things of Earth then become divine.

                     For we’re loved with an everlasting love
                        coming from God and lifting us above
                        this Earthly plain to the heights of Heaven
                        where we can rest in God, all forgiven.

May the Advent promises of hope, peace, joy and love, inspire us in our living not just in this season, but throughout the year.
