Songs of Advent
I love that songs tell us so much about our faith, our story, our journey. They also tell us a lot about our communities. The songs communities sing are very telling about how the community sees one another, life, God, faith, community, etc.
While I believe Advent should be such a major part of our Christian life and story I’m struggling to come up with many Advent songs. Is it because of my own traditions, or is it because of our huge emphasis on Christmas Day itself?
Here’s the two I can think of right now…
Come Thou Long Expected Jesus
O Come, O Come Emmanuel
As you can see, I’m struggling to come up with many.
What Advent songs can you think of?
What do you sing at this time of year?
Do you separate Advent from Christmas or are they one in the same?
