I always seem to use these songs every year. They are strong, always well-received, and engaging.

STILL MORE SONGS!:
Advent Penitential Act by Craig Colson (WLP) from the CD I Am the Way. It’s even more effective if you sing his song This Is Your Justice as a gathering/entrance song. The melodies and thematic material are the same for both. It’s a nice way of making the entire Gathering Rite unified for a given Sunday in Advent, or even all four weeks. listen
