Do not be afraid for I am with you
To comfort and console you
Bring you hope because you know me
Wipe the tears that you have shown me
For my love is always with you
I am breaking those bonds that held you
Opening doors so that you know me
And see the power that I show you
Now in the Advent season, it is time to take inventory
Tell the world about the Christmas story
When Jesus came without glitz or glory
To redeem us and make us holy
