before we can change the world
our priorities must be assessed
not “theirs”, the ways of the world
our hearts turned toward God
waiting, patiently, expectantly,
actively waiting for the coming of the Christ
preparing our hearts, our lives
re-pointing our compass
on our one true King
letting go of the world’s measuring
our priorities, our vision
on the babe in the manger,
the man on the cross,
the savior rising to heaven
that we may all live again
