Sign

December 22
Sign

She shakes her head, disgusted
The opportunity, she missed
She wasn't totally clueless:
There were signs,
There were signs.

He wonders what has happened
Unexpected turn of things
It makes him ask the question:
Were there signs?
Were there signs?

The church is almost empty
Members clinging to the past
What to do, how can they save it?
(There were signs,
There were signs.)

The wisemen, keen observers
Saw the star rise in the east
And they knew at once with wonder:
Heaven's sign,
Heaven's sign.

Past and future speak to us
In the visions of our youth
In the wisdom of our seniors,
They are signs,
They are signs.

Awake, awake take notice
Eyes and minds kept open wide
To watch and see God's wonders
In God's signs,
In God's signs.

Where are my eyes closed to God's signs? What are the signs I should be paying attention to now?
