get with it! Get an attitude!

"Every year at Christmas  I want to cry with John the Baptist and 
with Isaiah the prophet.  I want to cry with them:

      Get with it.  Get an attitude!  See what is really
   happening!  Prepare ye the way for God!  Look for his
   coming in power!   Make his paths straight!   Know that 
   the time of vindication and of peace is at hand!  Rejoice
   and be glad - for while there is darkness in the world -
   there is also light, and the light is stronger than the
   darkness, the darkness cannot overcome it."

I want to cry - Prepare ye the way of the Lord,
   - Comfort,, O comfort my people,
   - The Lord comes with might, his arm rules for him, his
   reward is with him, and his recompense before him.   He will
   feed his flock like a shepherd, he will gather the lambs in
   his arms and carry them in his bosom..."

There is so much good around us.
There is so much power and righteousness at hand."
