Until Christ Comes in Glory - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

This season of waiting
for the coming Christ child
the fulfillment of prophecy
God’s promise of ancient times

Something to hold onto
to look at with awe
that God came to earth
descending, as a man

Literally emptying himself
pouring out Love
the presence of the one who made
the earth and heaven above

Dying as a servant
humble to God’s will
going to the cross
that we may simply live

Until Christ comes in glory
riding on the clouds
waiting ever, vigilant
the saints all gather round
