Merry Christmas!
“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on His shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace,” ~Isaiah 9:6
“Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call Him Immanuel,” ~Isaiah 7:14
“But after he (Joseph) had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, ‘Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins,’ 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 1:20-23
A very Merry Christmas to you and yours!!!

Merry Christmas, Lynn! Beautiful song, not sure I’ve heard it before. Possibly one for next year’s Songathon?! God bless and I hope you had a wonderful day 🎄☃️⭐️

Oh, I would be honored if you posted the song on your Songathon next year, Steven! It’s one of my favorites as it expresses so much truth, and I love the key! One of the things I especially appreciate about you (among many actually) is your keen understanding, skill and appreciation of a variety of musical forms. My music taste is eclectic and so I love the music you choose. 🙂 Merry Christmas, my talented friend!

Wow Lynn I missed this one too, I am sorry but I do hope your “Christ”mas was wonderful for you and for your family, yes God is with us! and through all the Ups and Downs Life brings.
Isaiah 43:1-3 Do not be afraid for I have ransomed you I have called you by Name you are mine. When you go through deep waters and great trouble I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty you will not drown! When you walk through the fire of oppression you will not be burned up the flames will not consume you. For I Am The LORD your God, The Holy One of Israel, your Saviour.”
