Longing. Hoping. Fulfillment.
“What fear we felt in the silent years. Four hundred years… Can he be found?
But broken by a baby’s cry,
Rejoice in the hallowed manger ground!
Emmanuel. Emanuel. God Incarnate here to dwell!
Emmanuel, Emmanuel. Praise his name- Emmanuel!
The Son of God here born to bleed.
A crown of thorns would pierce his brow.
And we beheld this offering,
exalted now the King of kings.
Praise God for the hallowed manger ground!”
Emmanuel
(Hallowed Manger Ground) by Chris Tomlin
