Advent (mon)Day 9: Righteousness & Peace Kiss

Day 9 – Righteousness & Peace Kiss

In the long nights of December,
We listen, Lord, for the words you speak.
How can we hear you
When the markets and machines are so loud,
When the sellers and the entertainers
Clamor for our every attention?
Still we would listen for you
And hear of wars so we may long for peace,
And hear of oppression
So we may long for justice,
And hear of hunger so we may long for you.
Then make a path, O God,
So righteousness and peace
Shall meet and shall kiss
And with that kiss, with that glory,
Shall we and this good creation
Praise and bless your coming.
Amen.
