We\u2019re halfway through March and I have shared just one little glimpse of Christmas with you. So today, I\u2019d like to share one of my favorite Christmas tunes. \u201cEmmanuel.\u201d I believe I would love any song with this word in it because of what it means. God with us.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The disciples had the Messiah in their midst. They walked and talked with Jesus. They ate with Jesus. They listened to Jesus. They knew Jesus. What a time they must have had.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But Jesus told His disciples that they would be better off when He left. Why? Because God would place His Spirit within each believer. From that point forward, anyone who accepted Jesus as their Savior would receive this gift and would have God with them.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
So Emmanuel is such a blessed word for us. God is with us.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Enjoy this beautiful song today. Lift your voice and praise God who is with you!<\/p>\n

\u201cEmmanuel\u201d \u2013 Musical Musings in March<\/b><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
One more Christmas tune\u2026Christmas music is perhaps my all-time favorite music because of the hope and joy it brings to my heart.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Within the past few years, this song, \u201cEmmanuel\u201d has quickly become one of my favorite Christmas songs. Yes it speaks of Emmanuel and how God sent Jesus to be with us, but it goes one step further.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This song says that Jesus is with<\/i> me. Personally with<\/i> me. And what that actually means in my life. There is no more loneliness. There is no more heartache. There is no more brokenness. Because of Emmanuel.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When we allow Emmanuel to be part of our lives, our day-to-day lives, we have all that He has to offer all the time. What a wonderful gift God gave mankind, no, what God gave to me on that first Christmas. Emmanuel.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
So here are the words and a link to the video sung by Anthony Evans. I pray you\u2019ll receive a blessing from \u201cEmmanuel.\u201d<\/p>\n

No decorations
\nNo tree with tinsel, no light this year at home
\nThe rooms are silent, no carols playing<\/p>\n
For the first time she’s all alone<\/p>\n
But what a wonder, she says there’s comfort<\/p>\n
Emmanuel our God is with us, yes he’s with us still
\nEmmanuel he has not left us and he never will<\/p>\n
They maybe next door
\nMaybe the next row<\/p>\n
But there’s someone with a heartache<\/p>\n
They face the season, the happy greetings with no joy in this holiday<\/p>\n
For all the broken, here in this moment<\/p>\n
Emmanuel our God is with us, yes he’s with us still <\/p>\n
\nEmmanuel he has not left us and he never will
\nHe never will
\nHe never will[i]<\/a><\/p>\n
