Poetry: Holy, Restless Anticipation, Advent Day 17

Stay right here a little while

Stay right here my dear

Hear me whisper to your heart

And take away your fear

For you soon will see

An unlikely king

And you soon will feel

A flesh that will heal

Oh, Divine, my Word on your lips

Find refuge in a holy kiss

Stay right here a little while

Stay right here my dear

Hear me whisper to your heart

And take away your fear
