'Tis the weeks before Christmas, the Advent season
When prayer and contemplation have taken hold of our reason
Advent wreaths are lit by our families with care
In preparation for the Christ child who soon will be there
Our sisters' meetings help us to focus on loving others outside of ourselves
Being Christ like and human just like the apostles, a holy set of twelve
So far two sisters have had loved ones that have gone on to Glory
Leaving loved and grieving sisters behind to tell of their stories
Heaven is real, Jesus is real, we all praise Him for His glory
We as sisters have got each other's backs, no need to worry
We have spoken of presents, unexpected and under wraps
Truly we are God's presents, helping each other with life's zippers and snaps
We sisters are children of the most High, awaiting Jesus' birth celebration
With close friends and family and sometimes distant relations
It's a season of remembrance, of gift giving, of distant phone calls
We as sisters are ready to help and lift you in prayer lest anyone should fall
So as our family celebrations get under way
And loved ones are held dear even when far away
Remember the babe who lay in a manger upon the straw
He's the real reason we say Merry Christmas to all!
