Jesus is David’s root, David’s descendant, and Jacob’s star. In other words, he is the eternal God, the incarnate Son, and the exalted Lord.

We can endure this present darkness with joy and gratitude because we know the Lord Jesus will return and dispel the darkness and bring us into his light.

This song is a beautiful and honest picture of the Christian life, dealing with themes of darkness, waiting, and the hope of our Lord's second coming.

While Advent is a time to celebrate his birth, it is primarily a time of waiting in hopeful expectation for the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.
