Yesterday was the first Sunday of Advent. The season has started but it takes a few days for Advent to get into my bones.

I pastored the First Baptist Church of Crawford, Texas from 2009 to 2019. This video played each Sunday to begin services during the Advent season. It still forces me to contemplate the beauty of the good news of the brith of our Savior. It now also allows me to remember beautiful people from a beautiful place.

Watch this video five … or 500 … times. Allow Advent to seep down into your bones.

Born Thy people to deliver,
Born a child and yet a King,
Born to reign in us forever,
Now Thy gracious kingdom bring.
By Thine own eternal Spirit
Rule in all our hearts alone;
By Thine all sufficient merit,
Raise us to Thy glorious throne.
