This Night - Part 5, Days of Light

This Night
by Melissa Campbell


Listen...

Do you hear them?

Angel octaves pealing

A Capella joy o'er the flocks

This night.

Behold...

Do you see Him?

No longer a babe, He

Reigns King of kings; Shepherds the World

With light.

Reach out...

Do you receive?
God-treasure hid in jars,
Forgiveness for those who forgive

This night.

Come to...

Do you believe?

Sons and daughters arise

When Emmanuel crams souls replete

With light.

Give praise...
Do you join in?
With mouth confess
God's glory 'cross the earth
Like calm waters cover the seas
This night.

Today is Day 5 in the Days of Light series.  Please join me for the next 3 days as I continue to light a candle in words to highlight the Coming of our Lord as celebrated by some in Advent and The Festival of Lights.
