Listen "God Is With Us (Ep 251)"

Episode Synopsis

Just before Christmas (2024), I was reading John 1. What John wrote of God's Son coming into the world, inspired a song about Light shining the darkness and the Word becoming flesh so he could dwell among us. I hope you enjoy my thoughts on John 1 and the "live" recording of the song, "God Is With Us (Immanuel)".
God is With Us (Immanuel)
Verse 1:The heavens are shouting, the gift of the Son!The True Light that gives light to everyone!The Light is the Life by which death is undone!The curse is now ended, rejoice in the Son!
Chorus 1:God is with us! Immanuel!God is with us! The Light has come!God is with us! Immanuel!Light shines in darkness and death is undone!Light shines in darkness; the Light is the Son!
Verse 2:The Word became flesh and he dwelt among us!Taking our form, he was made of the dust!He gave up his Life so that God who is justCould give life eternal to all who would trust!
Chorus 2:God is with us! Immanuel!God is with us! The Word has come!God is with us! Immanuel!The Word speaks in power; the victory’s won!Death is defeated! Our life’s with the Son!
Bridge:True Light of true light; the Light of the world!Jesus, Messiah; God’s glory unfurled!
