Heaven Pierced The Darkness Sending Jesus Christ
On a long ago day...in a faraway city
a Baby was born in the hay.
And heaven pierced the darkness sending Jesus Christ
to be salvation and our only way.
From His humble beginnings our Savior grew
revealing His righteousness among mortal man.
This Child was born with one purpose to be
God's redemption and salvation's plan.
Forgiveness & restoration....mercy & hope
are now possible by God's gift of grace.
The atonement mankind needs for the sin in our hearts
is now available in only one place.
Jesus is the Messiah the prophets all spoke of
for He was bruised and battered for sin.
Yet He conquered death by His glorious resurrection
and all hope of new life is in Him.
He's been building a kingdom of believers who love Him
and adore Him as the Lord of their souls.
For the Spirit of God indwells them each day
and His presence is what makes them whole.
The doorway to God...and eternal life
is by this King and it's His kingdom to come.
For the Baby in the manger was the Savior of the world
...and God's gift was His very own Son.

And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as
Savior of the world. 1 John 4:14
Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows;
Yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted.
But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement of our peace was upon Him.
And by His stripes we are healed.
All we like sheep have gone astray;
We have turned, every one, to his own way.
And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.
Isaiah 53:4-6
