They have been waiting so long
Worship, fasting, and prayer in the temple
A promise from the Holy Spirit
Mary and Joseph bring Jesus in
To satisfy the Law
But get so much more
Revelation of their son’s future
Blessings and joy at His presence
Simeon may now rest in peace
Anna comes with thanksgiving
At the sight of her Savior
Going out to spread the word in the city
Marveling at all these things
The family starts for home
Beginning Jesus’ holy journey
