Hey there, coming up from the depths of homeschool and holiday making to share a song. As I was listening to songs today, this song by the acapella group GLAD came across my play list. While it is not specifcially a Christmas song, the message of the lyrics is so very Christmas:
Him the God of all the glory
Love was all there was to know
Pure, innocent, and free
Like we were meant to be
Long ago
Afraid we followed after love
And pain filled the Father’s eyes
And ohhhh from the first He knew
What He planned to do
To bring us home
God so loved the world He gave His only son
Faced the death that we deserved and overcome
And everyone that hears His word and believes the
promise that he’s heard will never die (will never die)
Hope like an unexpected friend
Came to the helpless and condemned
And peace was oft at far and near
To answer every fear in our hearts
Grace only God could understand
Flowed freely from His hands
And when the perfect Lamb was slain
Bear the guilt and shame of us all
God so loved the world He gave His only son
Faced the death that we deserved and overcome
And everyone that hears His word and believes the
promise that he’s heard will never die (will never die)
Through His death our forgiveness was obtained
And Heaven pinned me claimed once again
Through His life He’s crushed the power of sin
That we can reign with Him forever more
God so loved the world
God so loved the world He gave His only son
Faced the death that we deserved and overcome
And everyone that hears His word and believes the
promise that he’s heard will never die (will never die)
God so loved the world
Nice song!
^^I recommend ALL of their music too — Christian worship type music, with many traditional hymns arranged for 5-6 part harmony — just beautiful.
