Lyrics
The lyrics are copyright so cannot be reproduced here. But they are currently available on this website. A rough outline is:Week 1: Advent candles tell their story, as we watch and pray, longing for ...
Week 2: Prophet voices loudly crying, making pathways clear, glimpses glory ...
Week 3 John the Baptist, by his preaching, and by water poured ... and be ready, for the Lord.
Week 4 Mary’s gift, beyond all telling, was to give Christ room ...
Christmas Day: Advent candles tell their story, on this Christmas Day.
