Immanuel, God With Us

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The road was long to Bethlehem,

But they walked all the way.

They had a prophecy to fill

On that first Christmas day.

 

They didn’t travel in high style,

Their path was rough and wild.

But each step led them to the birth

Of heaven’s holy child.

 

They may have questioned now and then,

Humbled with fear and awe,

Why they were called to bring to life

God’s immutable law.  

 

Yet, they still walked to Bethlehem,

And on a manger floor

They brought to birth Immanuel,  

God with us ever more.

 

Isaiah 7:14

Therefore, the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
