A Child is Born - A Son is Given (Isaiah 9:6)
We have been blessed because for unto us three children have been born. Unto us three sons have been given. Life is a blessing from God, having a child is one of the greatest joys. Looking back at all the blessings God has giving us, our boys are our greatest blessings. As we go through life’s struggles one son is fighting every day to live, while the other is finding ways to end it and our other son is trying to hang in there one day at a time. They all feel that the world is upon on their shoulders but not realizing our Lord Jesus Christ has paid it all in full at the Cross.
Lyrics:
For unto us a child is born. unto us a son is given
and the government shall be upon his shoulder
and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor,
The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
A child is born a Son has been given
To save us from sin, he was sent down from heaven
On a star-studded night as shepherds watched their flocks graze
While the angelic host filled the night with his praise!
Oh Emmanuel, our God you are with us
The Word was made flesh, and He dwells here with us
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God Prince of Peace
He’s Lord of all lords and King of all kings.
He was Born in manger but died on a tree
Rejected by His own, still he died for you and me
Born in humility and buried in shame
But He rose one Sunday Morning with all Power in his Name
A child is born a Son has been given
To save us from sin, he was sent down from heaven
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God Prince of Peace
He is Lord of all lords and King of all kings!
Isaiah 9:6 – Recital
And there were shepherds living --- in the fields nearby
Keeping watch over --- their flock by night
Then an angel appeared --- and said “don’t be afraid”
Good tidings of great joy--- I bring on this day
In the city of David--- a Savior is born
He is the Messiah, --- He is the Lord
As a sign you find --- the babe laying in a manger
He’ll give peace to those --- on whom he finds favor
So join the heavenly host --- as they sing His Praise
Giving Glory to God --- for this glorious Day!
