Christmas Missed Us

from Sometimes I Feel the Spirit by Noah Glenn

/

about

This song is broken into 2 sections, a prayer and a lament.

The first section is a prayer based on Luke 4:18, in which Jesus announces his ministry by reading from the prophet Isaiah:

"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
because he has anointed me
to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives
and recovering of sight to the blind,
to set at liberty those who are oppressed"

The second section of the song is a lament that these things have yet to be fulfilled. While we continue to fight for the poor and the oppressed, it is often Christians who are in the role of the oppressor.

lyrics

Poor be lifted
Justice written
Blind have vision
Peace enlisted
If this Christmas
Just this wishlist
Is as wished as
Gifts and riches
This elixir
Fits our illness
May it lift us
May it fill us

Jesus help us
Christmas missed us
Jesus help us
Christmas missed us
Christians curse us
Dickens dissed us
Jesus help us
Christmas missed us
