The Christmas season is finally here! My husband is no longer banning me from playing the Christmas tunes! It is such a beautiful time of the year as we celebrate God becoming man. My Friday's favorite is my favorite Christmas song: O Come, O Come Emmanuel. We are rejoicing as we celebrate Emmanuel, God with us! It is so very humbling to dwell on the fact that Christ left a perfect place to come to earth as a man in order to make a way for us to have life through Him and a relationship with Him. I am so thankful for his great & perfect love.
Oh come, Oh come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appears
Rejoice, Rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to thee, Oh Israel!
Oh come, Thou Dayspring, come and cheer
Thy people with Thine advent here;
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night
And death's dark shadows put to flight
Rejoice, Rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to thee, Oh Israel!
Oh come, Thou rod of Jesse, free
Thine own from Satan's tyranny
From depths of hell Thy people save
And give them victory o'ver the grave
Rejoice, Rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to thee, Oh Israel!
Rejoice, Rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to thee, Oh Israel!
