magic.

Majesty had come down, Glory had succumbed now to flesh and bone In the arms of a manger In the hands of strangers that could not know Just who they hold

And the angels filled the sky All of heaven wondered why Why their King would choose to be Be a baby born to die

To break the chains Of guilt and sin, To find us here To pull us in So we can join in Heaven's song And with one voice around the throne.
------born to die-------bebo norman-------

This year the purpose and glory of baby Jesus truly hit me. He was the only baby whose sole purpose in being born was so he could die. What a marvelous beautiful gift. It was the greatest way for God to display His love to us. To lower Himself - our King- to become a human baby...the Image of the Invisible God.

The candles lit and lights lowered. Silent Night began to stream from the orchestra and the true magic of Christmas filled the air. Warmth, mercy, and love swept over the entire room. Tears streamed down my cheeks and His light filled my heart. I want to live everyday in that moment.
