IT WAS NOT ME

God, God's love, hope, life, light, nature of God, thankful, , ,

This is my story about God and me. I didn’t make the first move; he did. And he has given me life that will not end. I praise his name.

IT WAS NOT ME
It was not me who called on God,
when I was in death's land.
But it was God who called on me--
grace extended from his hand.

It was not me who called on God
when I was in death's way.
But it was God who called on me
and pulled me in the day.

It was not me who called on God
to bring me into light.
But it was God who called on me
and gave to me true sight.

God in Human Form

Christmas, God, Jesus, nature of God, Uncategorized, , , , , , , ,

Christmas is more than just about a baby. It is about God who came as that baby but was God incarnate. He was God in human form.

GOD IN HUMAN FORM

Watch the angels winging earthward,
singing praises to a king,
giving message to some shepherds--
lowly shepherds watching sheep.
"He is born! The Christ is come!
Peace on earth! Good will to men!"
Now the shepherds go to worship
God who's come in human form.

Watch the star that beams from heaven
guiding wisemen to a king.
Long they travel searching, searching
for the one the prophets tell.
Gifts of gold and frankincense
and myrrh to give the one they seek.
Now he's found, they bow in worship
God who's come in human form.

Watch the people as they gather,
singing carols, giving gifts.
Do they hear the Christmas message
"Peace on earth! Good will to men"?
Are they searching for the one
shepherds worshipped, wisemen sought,
One who died but still is living,
God who came in human form?
