In Advent we of sin take stock,
For soon we’ll see the Lord
And don’t want sin our hearts to block
From mercy’s cleansing sword.
We know our hearts will pruning need
By two-edged sword, His Word,
To open us to Blood He bleeds
In us, a cleansing flood.
From Bethlehem to Calvary
He cleanses us within,
As new-born He now makes us free:
Our life begins again.
We hand-in-hand to glory go
With mended hearts made strong
By Him who’s raised so we can know
With Him we all belong.
