The Coming Of the Lord is Near – Advent Meditation Video 2009

Posted on November 17, 2009 by Andy Wade

Here is my Advent meditation video for 2009. I have really enjoyed putting this one together as I have been meditating on What Am I Waiting for this Advent?

A high quality version for use in large groups and churches can be purchased and downloaded here. You can see my videos from the last few years here

The coming of our Lord is near,

New light dawning in the midst of darkness

New hope reigning beyond death and despair

New life sprouting for all creation

The coming of our Lord draws near

And we wait in eager expectation

We wait for the one who grieves

When tsunamis hit and bushfires rage

We wait for the one who bears our sorrows

When earthquakes shake and droughts parch

We wait for the one who shares our anguish

When wars kill and disease destroys

The coming of our Lord draws near

And we wait in joy and hopefulness

For the one who pours out love on all creation

The one who formed us in our mother’s wombs

We wait for the One who fills every fiber of our being

The coming of the Lord draws near

And we wait yearning for God’s redeeming child

We wait for the One who transfigures our world with the spirit of life

And transforms our lives with the wonder of love

We wait for our Saviour, for Jesus Christ our Lord.

Come Lord Jesus come – transfigure the world with your love

I’m looking for a service that I found and now lost. I has the following in it: “Keep alert, for you do not know when the time will come…in the evening, or at midnight, or at dawn. Keep awake.
Such amazing things happen in the sky to herald the return of the Son of Man:
…Jesus, coming in the clouds
…the sun grows dark
…the moon doesn’t shine
…and stars fall from the heavens…” and on.

After I originally commented I appear to have clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now each time a comment is added I recieve 4 emails with the exact same comment. Is there a means you can remove me from that service? Thanks!

  I am not sure why this would be and I don’t know how to change it. Did you subscribe to the blog. That might be the problem. If so you should be able to unsubscribe but I cannot do that for you.
