Traditionally the season of Advent has been used by Christians to prepare themselves for Christmas, by listening to God in a deeper way than normal. Must admit I have always struggled to do this. It is based on the time of preparation in the gospel story used by John the Baptist to prepare Israel for the coming of Jesus. The Flow blog of a friend of mine used this song a few weeks ago, and it has stayed with me since. It is taken from the 1973 film version of Godspell. The film now looks very dated, and was set in contemporary New York City, but the words are as apt today as when first used two thousand years ago.
