All this month leading up to Christmas, I want to share some meaningful Christmas song lyrics. You can read the previous blog posts for the others.
Christmas Lyrics – December 2nd
Lyric – “Let earth receive her King”
Song (Click the song to hear it) – Joy to the World
When Jesus was born to the virgin Mary that first Christmas morning, there was a lot going on. Mary and Joseph welcomed their first child. A farm stable had a newborn in it. Old Testament prophecies were being fulfilled.
And the King of all Creation had come to us.
God is King! King over everything. In the incarnation, God took on flesh. God became a human. God came to us. Jesus, the King of Kings, came to earth to save us from our sins.
The song says it well, “Let earth receive her King.”
