Sweet baby we can hardly wait,
To meet you very soon.
As you depart the darkness of,
Your little womb cocoon.
The miracle of your own life,
Has brought us so much joy.
A gift from God you are to us,
Our little baby boy.
Sweet baby we can hardly wait,
To meet you very soon.
As you depart the darkness of,
Your little womb cocoon.
The miracle of your own life,
Has brought us so much joy.
A gift from God you are to us,
Our little baby boy.
O Spirit of God,
On us descend,
So that we might see,
The hearts to mend.
Those broken and lost,
Or crippled with fear.
The lonely and hurt,
O let them hear:
That God is alive,
His Word stands true.
His power to heal,
Is meant for you.
Full freedom from chains,
Authentic peace.
A place to call home,
Will never cease.
Let Christians proclaim,
This healing love.
A message of hope,
Sent from above.
Hello stars, I’m still awake,
My thoughts so clear and deep.
Many hours will it take,
Till I am fast asleep?
Shining brightly in the sky,
I’m captured by your light.
Like a lantern I rely,
For you to guide my sight.
Soon enough the sun will rise,
And you will fade away.
Colours painted in the skies,
Will welcome the new day.
Hidden away from view,
Quietly you grow.
So intricately made,
Before you even show.
What wonderful designs,
Your Father has in mind.
The size of just a lime,
You are one of a kind.
Sweet baby know your loved,
In heaven and on earth,
We’re counting down the days,
To meet you at your birth.
Your in the wind,
the flame, the light.
Holy Spirit,
Our souls ignite.
Set us ablaze,
With your own love,
Decend on us,
O Holy Dove.
More than ever,
We choose anew.
In these dark times,
To trust in you.
O living hope,
True source of peace,
You show us that,
Love does not cease.
Raised from the tomb,
We came to see;
The power of,
Your victory.
O Perfect Love,
Burn in our heart,
That we may never,
Drift apart.
Will we come to the sacred Cross,
And kneel at Mary’s side?
To contemplate this gruesome loss,
Our Savior who has died.
In silence do we bear the pain,
Submit to greater love?
To know the Lamb who has been slain,
Was sent from heavn’ above.
With eyes like Mary, let us see,
That light and hope remain.
His body hung upon the tree,
Will come to life again.

Fingers move from bead to bead,
Prayers like incense rise.
Mother Mary hear our prayer,
Listen to our sighs.
Implore your Son to hear us,
Comfort and provide.
For you will not forsake us,
True and faithful guide.
Teach us to trust in Jesus,
Just as you have done.
Fix our eyes upon on the Cross
Where victory was won.
Lord love me where,
The others can’t.
Heart of mercy,
I ask you grant.
For you alone,
Can satisfy,
Your presence Lord,
Relieves our cry.
Lord love me where,
The others can’t.
It seems as though,
Friends come and go.
Like passing ships,
On different trips.
One moving east,
The other west.
Time together,
Not forever.
It seems as though,
Friends come and go.
