CHRISTmas is my absolute favorite season of the year. Emotions are flowing, families are gathering, people are celebrating the miraculous birth of our Lord and Savior, it's just the perfect time of the year. I am especially excited for Christmas this year because we are a lot closer to most of my family now, so it will be a larger family gathering. (Not to mention that we don't have to worry about Daddy having a Fire or Rescue call during Christmas dinner this year..) My absolute most favorite Christmas song is "Here with Us" by Joy Williams. This song magnificently displays the wonderfulness of the Birth of Jesus. (And it has pretty harmonies!) I sing this song year-round. It is downloaded on every mobile device in my possession; on every laptop and cell phone (but not iPods because my mom is "anti-Apple" and thinks I will just break it). I had heard this song many times before I claimed it to be my favorite, but the words never meant anything to me until a couple of years ago when I discovered just how amazing the description is. This song also has a beautiful oboe part to it. (That I will never be tallented enough to play...)
It's still a mystery to me
That the hands of God could be so small,
How tiny fingers reaching in the night
Were the very hands that measured the sky
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Heaven's love reaching down to save the world
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Son of God, Servant King,
You're here with us
You're here with us
It's still a mystery to me, oh,
How His infant eyes have seen the dawn of time
How His ears have heard an angel's symphony,
But still Mary had to rock her Savior to sleep
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Heaven's love reaching down to save the world
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Son of God, Servant King
Here with us
You're here with us
(Ohh, mmm, here with us)
Jesus the Christ, born in Bethlehem
A baby born to save, to save the souls of man
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Heaven's love reaching down to save the world
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Son of God, Servant King
You're here with us
You're here with us
