<\/a>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\u2019ve 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.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
One of the reasons I like this Christmas song is because it goes beyond Jesus\u2019 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.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But God wasn\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I will sing of God\u2019s 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\u2019s love forever.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Won\u2019t you join me in singing praise to God today?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cEmmanuel\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There is a God so big no one can fathom
\nHow He holds this world and universe together
\nThough He has all power He was born to us a baby
\nSo He could be called God with us<\/p>\n
There is a King who left His throne in glory
\nFrom heavens fame, to a humble little stable He did lay
\nGave up His crown so that we could all be found
\nSo He could be called God with us<\/p>\n
Chorus
\nEmanuel, Emanuel we worship You Emanuel
\nSuch awesome power, such humble love
\nWe honor You, our God with us<\/p>\n
While on the earth He became a man of sorrows
\nDespised for me so that I could be accepted and set free
\nThen He rose again and His Holy Spirit He did send
\nSo He could be called God with us<\/p>\n
Forever and ever He’ll be with us, never leave us <\/p>\n If you don\u2019t recognize this particular song, click here <\/a>to listen. You will enjoy it!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Grace and peace be yours in abundance,<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Donna<\/p>\n <\/p>\n To leave a comment, please click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
