The Day After Christmas





The day after Christmas Is a day of broken toys, opened boxes, Torn packages, threads of ribbon galore, The surprises all over, thank yous all said.

A long time coming and so soon gone! But, when Jesus Christ is born in your hearts, There are no sad days after, No waiting a year, No putting away the thank yous For another twelve months.

Every day is Christmas When the Savior lives within, The same today as yesterday. Each day brings fresh gifts from above, Not a holiday but a holy day.

And we are not merely the recipients, We give because He gave, We love because He loved, And we want to share Him with everybody. Once-a-year Christmas On the calendar is precious, But there is no ‘day after’ When we cannot say, ‘Christ dwelleth in me.’

Mary, Did You Know?



Mary, did you know that your Baby Boy would one day walk on water?
Mary, did you know that your Baby Boy would save our sons and daughters?
Did you know that your Baby Boy has come to make you new?
This Child that you delivered will soon deliver you.

Mary, did you know that your Baby Boy will give sight to a blind man?
Mary, did you know that your Baby Boy will calm the storm with His hand?
Did you know that your Baby Boy has walked where angels trod? When you kiss your little Baby you kissed the face of God?

Mary did you know? The blind will see. The deaf will hear. The dead will live again. The lame will leap. The dumb will speak The praises of The Lamb.

Mary, did you know that your Baby Boy is Lord of all creation? Mary, did you know that your Baby Boy would one day rule the nations? Did you know that your Baby Boy is heaven's perfect Lamb? The sleeping Child you're holding is the great "I am"

- Mark Lowery

Engravings




It is because we have such shallow views of God's love that we have such defective views of God's dealings. We blindly interpret the symbols of His providence because we so imperfectly read the engravings of His heart.  When we can't trace His hand, we must trust His heart! - Octavius Winslow

Love Came Down







If my heart is overwhelmed and I cannot hear Your voice; I'll hold on to what is true though I cannot see.



If the storms of life they come and the road ahead gets steep; I will lift these hands in faith I will believe.

I remind myself of all that You've done, And the life I have because of Your Son.

Love came down and rescued me Love came down and set me free; Now I am Yours I am forever Yours.



Mountain high or valley low I sing out remind my soul; I am Yours I am forever Yours.

When my heart is filled with hope when every promise comes my way;
When I feel Your hands of grace rest upon me.

Staying desperate for You God Staying humbled at Your feet; I will lift these and praise I will believe.

I am Yours I am Yours all my days I am Yours.

- Brian Johnson
