Quick Overview

This song has been on the site for a while, but we just added a wonderful video for it. Perfect for Advent 2020 virtual worship!

In the midst of all the difficulties of our present time, this Advent song looks toward Christmas with hope. A laid back folk/pop chorus, it was written for Advent rites of candle lighting. Easy to play on guitar or keyboard, the song can also be used with a full band.
