"Help Us to Clear the Way" (Advent #2)
A portion of the lectionary scriptures for this Sunday (2nd Sunday of Advent) is Isaiah 11:1-10 and Matthew 3:1-12
Our prayer might include "O Advent God, help us to clear the way." Here is a prayer, sung to the tune of "O Come, O Come Emmanuel" that you might use as you dwell in the lectionary scriptures:
Isaiah heard the words of Advent God.
"A branch shall grow from Judah's tribal sod."
John's voice cried out, "No, I am not the one.
Prepare the way,
make straight paths for God's Son."
(Refrain)
O Advent God,
help us to clear the way
within our hearts,
make straight the Lord's highway.
