25 days of christmix :: day 11 :: ‘come thou long expected jesus’ by marcy priest
what are the 25 days of christmix? find out here.
i didn’t grow up in churches that celebrated (or acknowledged) the season of advent. in fact, i literally had never heard of that until i was probably in college. over the last several years, though, i’ve begun to see the beauty of that season.
it marks a time in which people who follow in the way of jesus anticipate the coming of the christ child. for so long, people waited for and expected a savior to come to restore both humanity and the world. this songs beautifully expresses this season of hope and expectation.
