mary cradling the infant child with shaft of light above them


Hope Awakens



A young expectant mother
Falls into the embrace of a much-loved aunt
And as a child in the womb stirs
Hope Awakens
The demands of empire
Summon the oppressed to their cities of birth
And as a man commits to make this family his own
Hope Awakens
A newborn’s cry
Breaks the midnight silence
And as shepherds announce what angels have made known
Hope Awakens
And as we pause to remember again
Re-telling the story of a Saviour’s birth
Shrouded in the realities of every human struggle
Hope Awakens
