(Christmas) Music Monday

I have always loved this song. It is so touching and really does focus on what we celebrate this Christmas season. It's so easy for us to get side tracked and think of all of the work we need to put out: the decorations, the tree, the parties, the gifts, the donations, the events... 

It's incredible for me to think of how Jesus, our Saviour, was once a wee baby, born to a teenaged mother; how he was was to be the ultimate sacrifice for our sins, yet he needed the love and kindness and gentleness from an earthly mother and father. He humbled himself out of his great love for us. Incredible!

Here With Us ~ Joy Williams

 

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

 

"All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: 'the virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel --which means "God with us." Matthew 1: 22, 23
