Few years back I worked on this poem,
which I thought might make a meaningful song -
but,
I've not yet written music for it. Someday!
GOD WITH US
To dwell amidst the limits of mankind,
Down from His awesome, splendid, glorious Throne,
Eternity came down to live in Time.
What perfect love! He came to save His own
Chorus:
Emmanuel! He is the One!
He lived, He loved, He gave for us His all!
Emmanuel! He is the One!
He’ll take us home at the first trumpet call!
A rustic manger cradled God’s own Son.
Majestic angels heralded His birth.
Poor, frightened shepherd’s left their flocks to see.
Yes, they believed! Their Saviour came to earth!
Later came travelers - a star as their guide.
They found the child and recognized the King!
Fine gifts of Gold and Frankincense and Myrrh
How had they known what future days would bring?
Oh, come! Believe as once the shepherd’s did!
Oh, come! Seek Him as Wise Men did of old!
Bring Him your gift! A broken, contrite heart!
And then proclaim the Good News you’ve been told.

Wonderful! Consider this as a nudge toward writing the music!
Pictures of the universe are just amazing! They pretty much overwhelm me!
I agree that this would make a beautiful, but it is simply wonderful as a poem.
Hi Karin, thanks for your visit and the sentiments expressed. Now there's a worthwhile thing to do and a wonderful way of giving!
I love your poem, you are an artist!
Happy New Year to you and yours.
Hello, it's me again.
Just saw your childhood memory picture on the sidebar. Goslar, Harz?
I'm from Krefeld, from the Niederrhein; are you German?

Happy New Year!!!!
