Advent-uring with God - words

Mary, I bring good news
The Spirit of God, an encounter with an angel
A life suddenly veered off the track
Words that would change a life forever to change history to change lives to change me and you

How often do we speak or deliver words that change a life?
Forever, veered onto a new track
Changing history, lives, he and she, them

Perhaps the words you speak bring news that is glad, sad or bad
Maybe they speak of the sword that pierces a soul
Yet the same sword saves future generations

Advent. A time of news. May the Spirit of the Living God be with us as we speak and share... and share the Good News. Mary. So young. May the grace of God carry our words, and make them words of hope. Of a future.

For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. Plans to give you a hope, and a future. Jer 29:11

Awaken

Awaken my soul
To hunger, to see
To thirst
Awaken first love
Come away
Do as you did
First

Spirit of the living God, come fall afresh on me
Come wake me from my sleep
Blow through the caverns of my soul
Pour in me to overflow

Awaken my soul
To worship
With all your strength

Come and fill this place
Let your glory now invade

- Bethel Music

Amen.
