Still Rejoicing - Advent - Joy













Tonight, my joy’s in simple things,
The wind brushing the eaves,
Or starlight dancing in between
The still unfallen leaves.
 
The peace that comes this time of year
As the pace starts to slow.
There’s time to sit beside the fire,
To watch the embers glow.
 
As those shepherds did long ago,
Taking turns in the night
To keep close watch across the hills,
Their sheep, and the firelight.
 
I know I can’t fathom their joy,
As fear turned to delight,
But that stillness, which came before,
Lingers near me tonight.
 
My heart rejoices in the news
That they received back then,
So, I’ll sit by my fire and watch.
I know He’ll come again.
 
Psalm 84:2
My soul longs, yes, faints for the courts of the Lord; my heart and flesh sing for joy to the living God.
