“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” ~Isaiah 9:6 (ESV)

“The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness, on them has light shined.”

He has told you, O man, what is good;    and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness,    and to walk humbly with your God?

Lord, what moved Your heart to love lowly man Before any star could herald Your praise? And why did You come, abasing Yourself Veiled in a robe of frail human clay? Why would You, the pure, give Your life for the vile The innocent seeking the guilty To be reconciled?   I’m gripped and amazed at what You have done …

“Oh come, let us sing to the Lord;    let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation! Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving;    let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise! For the Lord is a great God,    and a great King above all gods.”
