Description
When I started writing this song, I was just planning on writing a Christmas song. But then it kind of took on a mind of its own and I ended up focusing most of the song on the reasons why we celebrate Christmas.
I thought of the different scriptures that talk of Jesus seeking out those in most need and how He ministered to them…how those who were overlooked by others were not overlooked by the Savior of the world. That in and of itself is simply amazing, in my opinion, and teaches more about God than probably anything else…that He ministers to the one and doesn’t overlook the outcasts.
I thought of how even though He went about doing good, He was still rejected and eventually gave His life as a sacrifice that somehow pays our debts and even makes it possible for us to live forever.
And I thought about His promise that He would one day return to the earth and triumph over all the things that stand in the way of our health, happiness, peace, etc.
“Emmanuel” means “God with us.” I really believe that regardless of how hopeless things may seem in our individual lives or even in the world at large, if we include God in our lives, nothing will be impossible and things will be made right in the end. As the prophet Isaiah taught, the Lord is able to give us beauty for ashes and heal and repair those things that are beyond our ability to heal and repair. I believe that will all of my heart.
I wish you all a wonderful start to the Christmas and holiday season and I hope you enjoy this new song: “The King Emmanuel.” ❤️
