Advent In the City
Stewart Duffie
Lonely people in the streets rush by,
snow falling from a dull grey sky.
In the cold a child cries, its mother sighs,
In the alley a father dies.
Shops with windows lit so bright,
selling their wares far into the night.
A man with clothes tattered and torn,
in this city of plenty he is forlorn.
. A hush settles over all of the earth,
It is the advent of our savior's birth.
Born out of his mother's agony and pain,
She offers her son, she without stain.
Again and again over the years,
this mothers offers this child of tears.
He was born for our sins, a star so bright,
a light for all, a candle raging against the night.
A flame of hope to us on earth,
have we learned by this little child's birth.
God's only Son had death in store.
We couldn't care less ,He couldn't care more
A man sits close to the prison wall,
A woman lies dead in a dirty hall.
At last morning comes to the large city,
Our God sheds tears for His people in pity.
Skip's Christmas Greeting
by Stewart Duffie
The night is cold, the stars are bright,
The wind moans low on this winters night.
The animals witness a woman give birth.
The son of God has come to earth..
Men of wisdom standing near,
A star has led them to this child so dear.
Joseph smiles at this child so small,
born to Mary in this manger stall.
The shepherd's in the fields took fright,
to hear a choir on this silent night.
Hark the angels shout and sing,
Jesus the child is our newborn king.
Peace on earth we say to each other,
and treat each one as our brother.
Please do not forget my Christmas prayer,
keep Jesus in your heart all through the year..
Awake Awake the prophets sing,
Jesus is our eternal King.
