ADVENT CANDLES
                     
Now we'll light the candles, Candles in a ring; So that they will light the way for our coming King. Every year they help us count by their bright array and remember why Christ came on that Christmas Day!

Thinking of God's promise as we light the first:  Darkness He will overthrow for our God is just!  Jesus is our only light and through Him we pray and remember why Christ came on that Christmas Day!

Prophets with a message of how Christ would come to redeem a fallen world: Calling us back home.  Guide us by this candle's flame; May we never stray but remember why Christ came on that Christmas Day!

John's voice in the desert Said: "Christ's way prepare; crooked roads must be made straight, Or God's wrath you'll share!"  Help us to repent our sins; Light for us a way to remember why Christ came on that Christmas Day!

Mary was so willing; Bearing God's own Son: Only by this Gift to us was our pardon won.  These four candles help us think of debts we can't repay and remember why Christ came on that Christmas Day!
