Micah 5:2-5a; Psalm 80:1-7 ; Hebrews 10:5-10; Luke 1:39-45, 46-55

trusting
in God’s word
joy leapt
within her womb
He that would show us
God’s will for love
in our lives
leaving behind
an old covenant
of sacrifices
holocausts
and sin offerings
for God’s true desire
to love-
we turn our face to God’s presence
to see what has always been
from the beginning
love’s pure light
giving us new life
in the one who
stands firm
in strength
and goodness
to the ends of
all the earth
bringing us peace

Have you turned your face to God?
Do you see God’s will as love?
Does joy leap within your heart?
