Since I mentioned Christmas yesterday, I decided it was time to throw in a Christmas song.

Several years ago I joined the choir at Christmas time because I missed all that I did with choirs in years past. The song I’ve chosen today was one of the Christmas tunes we sang. It touched my heart then and it continues to do so whenever I hear it.

One of the reasons I like this Christmas song is because it goes beyond Jesus’ birth. It actually moves into the real reason Jesus came to earth. Jesus came to seek and save the lost. He came to die for our sins and then to be resurrected so that we might have eternal life.

But God wasn’t finished. In His desire to lavish His great love upon us (1 John 3:1), He sent His Holy Spirit to be with us. Emmanuel.

I will sing of God’s great love toward mankind (and me) for as long as I have breath. This is just one song that I sing to honor my heavenly Father. My voice may not be as strong as it once was. My voice may not be as clear. My voice may not be as beautiful. But I will sing of God’s love forever.

Won’t you join me in singing praise to God today?

“Emmanuel”

There is a God so big no one can fathom
How He holds this world and universe together
Though He has all power He was born to us a baby
So He could be called God with us

There is a King who left His throne in glory
From heavens fame, to a humble little stable He did lay
Gave up His crown so that we could all be found
So He could be called God with us

Chorus
Emanuel, Emanuel we worship You Emanuel
Such awesome power, such humble love
We honor You, our God with us

While on the earth He became a man of sorrows
Despised for me so that I could be accepted and set free
Then He rose again and His Holy Spirit He did send
So He could be called God with us

Forever and ever He’ll be with us, never leave us
Forever and ever may His highest praise be heard[i]

Grace and peace be yours in abundance,
