But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. Luke 2:10,11
Wishing you a blessed celebration of the birth of our Savior, from our family to yours!
I am with my extended family, on vacation for a week. We're having a wonderful time, enjoying one another's company and fellowship. I have slowed down in my blogging a little bit, just to relax and focus on Christmas with my family, but will be back to my regular blogging by next week.
We have come today to worship
We have come to praise the One
Who came down into our darkness
Born a lowly virgin’s son
You who did not come with splendor
Pomp and strength and majesty
You who came to us in weakness
Born to us in povertyEmmanuel, Emmanuel, Emmanuel
In You alone we hope and trust
Jesus, Savior, God with us
EmmanuelWe were blind and lost and godless
Wandering a trackless waste
Then hope arose, a glorious beacon
Like the star the wise men chased
Down from heaven came a Savior
Born a child, so small and frail
Taking up our pain and troubles
Conquering where we had failedYou who with a word created
Sun and moon and seas and sand
Lay there sleeping in a manger
Cradled by Your mother’s hand
You who made the mighty forests
Would lie down upon a tree
Fastened there with nails for sinners
Would bleed and die to set us free© 2005 Sovereign Grace Praise (BMI). Emmanuel, Emmanuel. Words and music by Mark Altrogge. As recorded on Savior: Celebrating the Mystery of God Become Man
