It’s the fourth Advent Melodic Monday! Today’s song Immanuel has been written and is performed by Dave Hershey. It’s based on Isaiah 7:14: Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel. What a wonderful prophecy fulfilled in Jesus! May this song bless you as you prepare your heart to celebrate Christmas!

Gabriel sent from GOD to a girl in Nazareth
Favored ONE the LORD is with YOU
Holy spirit shall come upon you and you shall bear a son
And you shall call His name JESUS The LORDS work has begun

Morning Star the angels are all with you
Son of man your work is close at hand
Lamb of GOD Your light shines all around you
Upon the cross you died for the sins of man

In a small town named Bethlehem born under a star
An angel told the Shepard’s the Kings came from afar
Born in a manger no room at the Inn
You came to save the sins of men so let your work begin

Morning star the angels are all with you
Holy Hallelujah and Amen
My beloved Son in whom I am well pleased
Holy Hallelujah and Amen

Holy Hallelujah and Amen
Holy Hallelujah and Amen
Holy Hallelujah Holy Hallelujah
Holy. Hallelujah and AMEN

Gracious God,
We are in awe of you,
how wonderfully you’ve planned everything,
how wonderfully you’ve fulfilled everything.
Prepare our hearts and minds
to welcome you and celebrate you.
Thank you!
In Jesus’ name,
Amen
