Merry Christmas!
A perfect reminder as we prepare to celebrate our Savior's birth.
Merry Christmas!
In the first light of a new day
No one knew He had arrived
Things continued as they had been
While a newborn softly cried
But the heavens rapt' in wonder
Knew the meaning of His birth
In the weakness of a baby
They knew God had come to earth
As His mother held Him closely
It was hard to understand
That her baby not yet speaking
Was the Word of God to man
He would tell them of His Kingdom
But their hearts would not believe
They would hate Him and in anger
They would nail Him to a Tree
But the sadness would be broken
As the Song of Life arose
And the Firstborn of Creation
Would ascend and take His Throne
He had left it to redeem us
But before His life began
He knew He'd come back
Not as a baby but as
The Lord of every man
Hear the Angels as they're singing
On the morning of His birth
But how much greater will their song be
When He comes again, when He comes again
Hear the Angels as they're singing
On the morning of His birth
But how much greater will their song be
When He comes again to Earth
When He comes, When He comes
When He comes to rule the earth
When He comes back
When He comes back
To Rule the earth
'In the First Light' -Glad

Started singing the song in my head immediately after reading the first line. Reminds me of a road trip to Colorado in the old blue Oldsmobile...driving past Ogallala...between John Piper sermons on cassette...
