Everything changed that night. The night my Savior, Jesus Christ, was born.
On posts like this, I always struggle with what to say, how to say it, and saying enough. I want readers who don’t know the love of Christ to seek more answers to their questions after reading my words. I want to inspire all of you to be full of hope as we await the return of our Savior. I want us all to grasp how long and how wide and how high and how deep is the love of God, so big in fact that He sent his son to this earth to die for your sins and mine.
After much prayer over my words, I was reminded I share my life on these pages. I’m not a Bible scholar nor are you coming here expecting to get a super eloquent message about Christmas. Instead you come here to read a little about my life and what’s important to me.
Every Christmas season this exact song brings me to tears. I might have even shared it in this space before, but I think it’s worthy enough for another share {and definitely more-if we’re counting}.
Here With Us–you can listen to the song on this link, but pay attention to the lyrics.
It’s still a mystery to me
That the hands of God could be so small
How tiny fingers reaching in the night
Were the very hands that measured the sky
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Heaven’s love reaching down to save the world
Hallelujah, hallelujah, son of God, servant King
Here with us, You’re here with us
It’s still a mystery to me
How His infant eyes have seen the dawn of time
How His ears have heard an angel’s symphony
But still Mary had to rock her Savior to sleep
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Heaven’s love reaching down to save the world
Hallelujah, hallelujah, son of God, servant King
Here with us, You’re here with us
You’re here with us
Jesus, the Christ, born in Bethlehem
A baby born to save, to save the souls of man
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Heaven’s love reaching down to save the world
Hallelujah, hallelujah, son of God, servant King
Here with us
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Heaven’s love reaching down to save the world
Hallelujah, hallelujah, son of God, servant King
Here with us, You’re here with us
You’re here with us
That the hands of God could be so small
How tiny fingers reaching in the night
Were the very hands that measured the sky
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Heaven’s love reaching down to save the world
Hallelujah, hallelujah, son of God, servant King
Here with us, You’re here with us
It’s still a mystery to me
How His infant eyes have seen the dawn of time
How His ears have heard an angel’s symphony
But still Mary had to rock her Savior to sleep
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Heaven’s love reaching down to save the world
Hallelujah, hallelujah, son of God, servant King
Here with us, You’re here with us
You’re here with us
Jesus, the Christ, born in Bethlehem
A baby born to save, to save the souls of man
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Heaven’s love reaching down to save the world
Hallelujah, hallelujah, son of God, servant King
Here with us
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Heaven’s love reaching down to save the world
Hallelujah, hallelujah, son of God, servant King
Here with us, You’re here with us
You’re here with us
Never as much as in this past year, have I felt the urgency of our Savior returning. As we hope and long for the day, I pray you have a relationship with Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior. It’s the best Christmas gift you could ever receive.
