IRONIC ADVENT 2015 MEDITATION #3: A SONG FOR SAINT ROSA (PARKS)

Ironic Advent 2015 Meditation #3: 

A Song for Saint Rosa (Parks)

Advent time is waiting time

so the preachers say,

it’s waiting for the coming

of the glorious freedom day,

it’s waiting for the savior

and for the better way,

Advent time is waiting time

so the preachers say.

Sister Rosa was waiting now

for a long, long time;

She said “If freedom is coming,

I will be the sign;

I will be the problem,

I will not go away.

I’ve been waiting Lord

but I’m not waiting today.”

chorus:

Rosa rose up from her sorrow

and planted something strong,

something sweet and beautiful

something worth a song,

She said I will be the problem

that will not go away

I’ve been waiting Lord

But I’m not waiting today.

Instrumental Interlude followed by:

Now Rosa rise up from your sorrow

and make us something strong,

something sweet and beautiful

something worth a song,

We will be the problem

We will not go away,

We've been waiting Lord

But we're not waiting today.*
