Immanuel, God With Us


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Empty is my heart tonight
Of all its pain and fear,
For, as His name so clearly states,
He is forever near.
 
He is beside me in the night,
A Light that I may see,
And I will never need to doubt
His perfect love for me.
 
Immanuel, God is with us,
As prophecy foretold.
He is the only hope I need,
The truth to which I hold.
 
Matthew 1:23
“Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel” (which means, God with us).

Grace, Mercy and Peace


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I’m going to take time this week
To rest and to rejoice,
To reflect on all my blessings
And raise a joyful voice.
 
I live within the world each day,
But when each day is through
I step back from the world of man
And rest my thoughts in You.
 
The troubles of a broken world
Are meaningless to me
When I weigh them against the grace
Of Your holy mercy.
 
2 John 1:3
Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us, from God the Father and from Jesus Christ the Father's Son, in truth and love.
