The best gift I know to give... Merry Christmas!!!!
This is such an old and popular song. I want to post it today and invite you to ask the Lord to open your eyes and spirit to it today. Please take a moment and just read it and see what the Lord reveals to you. It is powerful and the best gift we can receive. Would love to hear your comments to which line struck you the most. Honestly I have sang this song for years but today it not only hit home but brought tears to my eyes. I will be reading this to my children Christmas morning. Thank you Lord.

Over the years, I have been much impressed with the depth of meaning of so many of our hymns. Unfortunately many churches sing only the first and last verses, focusing on the emotional response to the music, rather than the words. Like a story, the songs unfold a complete story. The first verse just lays the foundation, the next few define the events, and the final verse brings out the the importance to us. If we only sing the first and last, we miss the spiritual teachings of the song.
ReplyDeleteYour quoting the entire song makes it so clear what the author was trying to express. It is beautiful. "One of my favorites is I heard the Bells on Christmas Day"
Thanks for the reminder.
Just dropped in to wish you and your family a Merry CHRISTmas. God bless, Lloyd
