Earlier this semester, I wrote a batch of songs for each week of Advent. My friends at Canowan in Austin invited me to their church to record video sessions of them as a part of a series of Christmas song videos they're making. We'll sing one of these each week during Advent, and I'll be posting the videos here.
Here's the first song. It's called "There Will Come A Light," and it was written for the Hope week. If you have any questions, email me at jamie@ubcwaco.org
Lyrics:
a day is coming soon
when the seeker will find wonder
a day is coming soon
when the meek will find their joy
a day is coming soon
when the wounded will find healing
a day is coming soon (when)
there will come a light into this darkness
a pillar of fire in the night, leading us home
the evil that's at our heels will find itself haunted
by insufferable sleepless nights and newborn cries
a day is coming soon
when this damage will find mending
a day is coming soon
when the weak will find their Voice
a day is coming soon
when our Hope will have a heartbeat
a day is coming soon (when)
there will come a light into this darkness
a pillar of fire in the night, leading us home
the evil that's at our heels will find itself haunted
by insufferable sleepless nights and newborn cries
there will come a light
there will come a light
there will come a light
not long from now
You sang out Hope into the dead of night
and it echoed off the edge of Time
singing, "there will come a light, not long from now."
