Wonderful hymn, Amanda! Hope you don't mind if I cobble together a shapenote setting, and maybe if I have a chance an Esperanto translation.

Are these lyrics licensed for use in churches or is it possible to purchase a license to sing them in church?

Sorry for the delay in responding. All of my music and lyrics are free use, no licensing, no reporting. Use whatever you want, however you want - scores, recordings, videos. If you sing the text live in church and the service is recorded, please get in touch with me so I can watch it after the fact. Thanks!

Thanks for the kind words! This is such an important concept, I have no idea why there are not more hymns and worship songs about it - especially after COVID (not that it's really "after COVID" but you know what I mean).

What does "co'-creation" refer to in "Hope Waits for us at Advent"'?
@amandaudiskessler

Thanks for asking! It is the idea that we human beings have a part to play in bringing God's community of love into being, which is why Jesus made so many demands of his followers (in keeping with the prophetic Jewish tradition from which he emerged). Even if we understand God to be the ultimate creator, we must make love, compassion, justice, kindness, generosity, and hospitality manifest in our own lives - when we do so, we co-create the kin-dom, or community, of God.

It is a challenge to find or create music that I feel matches the sensibilities of our UU congregation and my own. Your music fits that requirement quite well. It does make me uncomfortable including references to anything but god within us. Probably due to my more humanist outlook on life.

If you post comments here that value unrestricted gun freedoms more than human lives, I will remove them. This is a mourning song for people who have died from gun violence. That is the point of this song. You do not have to listen to or like the song. But please do not use it to make comments about how much more important unrestricted gun rights are than human lives.
