He is coming!
We await Someone who will teach us how to survive in this labyrinth of anguish.
He is coming!
We dream of someone who will show us how to transform
Laments into song, mourning into dancing and death into life.
He is coming!
We all await the one who must come and will come at midnight
With a jar full of oil for our lamps and wounds
And at midnight chains will break, swords will rust
And we will have harvests, weddings and dancing.
Come soon, Lord Jesus!
