He was.
from before the first sunrise
He was.
in each moment today
He is.
and in every tomorrow
He will be.
and He has been composing the
symphony of life every
moment since the
dawn of time.
and with every beat of
the music
His heart beats for
every heart which ever
did beat...is beating...will beat.
and always His love the driving force.
is the force behind the plan.
the plan of salvation which
He knew we would need from
that time before time even began.
and that plan was a story.
that plan was a love story.
the ultimate love story.
and written in that story of love
was a baby.
that baby was called
Immanuel...God with us.
and that baby would grow up
to give and heal and bless and forgive...
all of which was and is wrapped in a love
so radiant as to pierce even the darkest night.
and in that love story Jesus did
indeed pierce that darkest night.
for no darker dark exists than
when He hung on that cross.
for you. for me.
the ultimate
example
of love.
and all creation wept.
but oh the story and song
of love composed by the
Father Himself did not end
in darkness for always the
the light will triumph!
and now Jesus stands before each
one of us as the bridegroom in this
story of love so astounding.
His arms are open.
His nail-pierced hands reaching
out for you. for me.
and the angels are singing
as you and I reach
back to grasp those
hands so beautiful.
and the same angels who
split the night sky
right open on the
night He was born
are singing and praising
and worshiping the bridegroom
who is the Lamb on the Throne.
and oh how inconceivable is this:
the entire plan and story and song
woven throughout the symphony
was written and composed
for you! for me!
all for love's sake.
all so we could see and
know the Father.
and how can we do any less than
"fall on your knees
oh hear the angel voices
oh night divine
oh night when Christ was born.
oh night divine
oh night...oh holy night."
