The 4th Song of Christmas
The world missed it once – but NEXT TIME all of eternity will hear the fanfare!
And then at last the signal of my coming will appear in the heavens, and there will be deep mourning all around the earth. And the nations of the world will see me arrive in the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory. And I shall send forth my angels with the sound of a mighty trumpet blast, and they shall gather my chosen ones from the farthest ends of the earth and heaven. Matthew 24:30-31 (TLB)
In the First Light
by Bob Kauflin
In the first light of a new day no one knew he had arrived
Things continued as they had been while a newborn softly cried
But the heavens wrapped in wonder knew the meaning of his birth
In the weakness of a baby they knew God had come to earth
As his mother held him closely it was hard to understand
That her baby, not yet speaking, was the word of God to manHe would tell them of his kingdom but their hearts would not believeThey would hate him and in anger they would nail him to a tree
But the sadness would be broken as the song of life arose
And the firstborn of creation would ascend and take his throneHe had left it to redeem us but before his life beganHe knew he'd come back, not as a baby, but as the Lord of every man
Hear the angels as they're singing on the morning of his birth
But how much greater will their song be when he comes again, when he comes againHear the angels as they're singing on the morning of his birthBut how much greater will their song be when he comes to rule the earth!
