Glory Hallelujah (Christmas)

Written by Mark Alan Schoolmeesters (US) and Gabriel Guedes (Brazil) on a Covid-style, cross-continental zoom writing camp at the beginning of lockdown, anticipating what Christmas would look like in a pandemic. The conclusion was that the awe and wonder would be unchanged. That our desperation for our circumstances to change was probably similar to the longing for a savior during the silent years leading up to the birth of Jesus.

I can only imagine
How it will be
