First Tuesday of Advent


“Sing to him a new song;”  Psalm 33:3a

with lyrics written
by little children
in bubble-filled bathtubs
and teenagers rapping
about injustices;
with music composed
by a father lullabying
his baby to sleep
and a grandmother
humming a tune known
only to her in second childhood,
let us sing praises
to our God.
