The Love of God

By Thor

The Love of God

boundless as infinity

it is unfathomable

Yet its intensity is like thousands of sun

The Love of God

is no respecter of person

an antidote for poisonous pride

Who you are and what you do is immaterial

For you are special in God’s eyes

The Love of God

brings sinners to repentance

sets the captives free

addiction, bondage, and guilt are history

Grace is the language; Forgiveness is eternity

The Love of God

fills our emptiness and inadequacies

it leads us to a life of purpose

a life well-lived, meaningful one

And that starts in a relationship with Jesus Christ

Today is the acceptable day of the Lord

Ask Jesus to come into your life

Surrender your life to Him for He can be trusted

and surely, the love of God will flow in your life abundantly.

I scribbled this poem while I was sitting in a bench

inside a mall’s playground waiting for my son to finish playing

with other kids.

This is one of my favourite country Christmas songs. It’s one of a kind sang by two of the greatest country singers, Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton. They can really tell a story in a song and have the charisma to engage every listener to keep th music playing. Their message in this song, “Peace on earth goodwill to men is the greatest gift of all.”

If you love this song, CD is available online at Amazon.com. Just click the photo. Amazon offers FREE Super Saver Shipping on orders over $25 for a limited time.

The Greatest Gift Of All Lyrics

Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers

Dawn is slowly breaking
Our friends have all gone home
You and I are waiting
For Santa Claus to come
There’s a present by the tree
Stockings on the wall
Knowing you’re in love with me
Is the greatest gift of all

The fire is slowly fading
Chill is in the air
All the gifts are waiting
For children ev’rywhere
Through the window, I can see
Snow begin to fall
Knowing you’re in love with me
Is the greatest gift of all

Just before I go to sleep
I hear a church bell ring
Merry Christmas, ev’ryone
Is the song it sings
So I say a silent prayer
For creatures great and small
Peace on earth, goodwill to man
Is the greatest gift of all

Peace on earth, goodwill to man
Is the greatest gift of all

Chris Tomlin – Emmanuel (Hallowed Manger Ground)

Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.” (Matthew 1:23)

Emmanuel! God incarnate here to dwell!

Emmanuel (Hallowed Manger Ground)
Ed Cash, Chris Tomlin
Buy Album Glory In The Highest at Amazon

What hope we hold this starlit night
a King is born in Bethlehem
Our journey long, we seek the light
that leads to the hallowed manger ground

Verse 2
What fear we felt in the silent age
four hundred years can he be found
But broken by a baby’s cry
rejoice in the hallowed manger ground

Chorus
Emmanuel, Emmanuel
God incarnate here to dwell
Emmanuel, Emmanuel
Praise His name Emmanuel

Verse 3
The son of God, here, born to bleed
a crown of thorns would pierce His brow
And we beheld this offering, exalted now, the King of kings
Praise God for the hallowed manger ground
