Although switching from <em>ABBA&#8217;s Greatest Hits<\/em> and the <em>Dear Evan Hansen<\/em> soundtrack to songs of Advent may seem less than exciting, I find it is an important way for me to do something different during this special season of hopeful waiting. While I&#8217;d like to think I&#8217;m a pretty patient person, I&#8217;m sure my friends would disagree. With that, I try to wait differently during Advent. So, when I&#8217;m sitting in traffic or looping the terminal to pick up a friend from the airport or stuck in the pharmacy drive-through line that hasn&#8217;t moved in seventeen minutes, I try to wait and pray with the songs of the season.

Praying the song during Advent, however, takes on an entirely new meaning.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Day of Peace&#8221; was originally composed in response to the Columbine High School massacre in April of 1999. The parents of children at my son\u2019s school were despairing and afraid. I wanted to write a song to help them: one that focused less on the dark, sinister, and dangerous \u2013 and more on the decent, loving, and peaceful world we all want for the ones we love. Peace doesn\u2019t come without everyone pitching in to help make it a reality. It takes work.
