Isaiah 12.
Shout aloud and sing for joy:
great in our midst are you,
O Holy One.
That's pretty much it in a nutshell, my God.
We just need to learn to see you in all of life,
to know that you are with us
no matter what.
Then even our sorrows can become joy!
+Amen.
Advent's deep longing and subdued joy has created some really beautiful art and music, and you'll find both in the video below. Veni, veni Emmanuel is a 13th century Latin hymn that we in Canada often sing in English this time of year. This is New Zealander Hayley Westenra's version, and you can bet I'll be looking for more music by her in the near future. Enjoy!
