Deliverance – Coram Deo “The ‘Living’ Presence of God

17 Friday Dec 2021

Merry Christmas everyone…

Manger in Stable

If you would like to download a printer friendly version of this year’s thoughts with a washout watermark background, click here: Deliverance

Deliverance 
Coram Deo – “The ‘Living’ Presence of God” 

Promised in Genesis,
Foretold in Isaiah,
The Seed, The Messiah!

O Holy Night it was,
An interruption of Heaven on earth,
A cosmic event changing time.

Traveling far, so we could be near,
The Love worth giving came down,
Arriving in a stable’s manger.

The Nativity brought to life,
A perpetual sight to be remembered…
An essence to stir hearts.

God the Son - in His majesty,
Took on flesh,
To tabernacle with mankind.

Sent by God to a world He loved,
To save us from ourselves,
The everlasting presence of Christ…

Mindful of us…
Our sin and error pining,
A visit of intimacy for our souls.

The Gift of the Father,
The clarity of Immanuel,
The sealing of the Spirit.

God with us indeed.

What we find at Christmas time,
Is Christ, our thrill of Hope,
A weary world rejoices.

…Merry Christmas…

Let There Be Light… The Light of the World

Let There Be Light…
The Light of the World

Time, clothed in darkness many years…
God’s word thought silent too long.

Prophets foretold the coming…
Yet, time produced nothing.

Mankind… waiting, wanting…
Of the Word to become flesh.

A Promised Savior to be…
Who would step out of His glory.

…Christ…

A starry night made bright…
Led shepherds and Magi to The Light.

The Light that shines in darkness…
The Glory of The Light to shine all around us.

The Light that will show everyone The Way…
To shine for all time and make all things right.

His life, to be The Light to man…
The Light unto salvation.

The True Light that brings Eternal hope…
Showing mercy and love.

God said, “Let there be Light…”
The Light of the world, is given for us.

…Let The Light shine this Christmas season…
