I Believe.

I'm enjoying Pandora a lot right now, check it out - it's an online (free!) radio that lets you create your own stations and find new songs that are similar to the ones you already like. So great!

My Christmas station just introduced me to a song I've never heard before. It's called "I Believe" by Natalie Grant (she's like the Celine Dion of Christian music, incredible voice) and the lyrics are powerful.

May we not be desensitized this Christmas season, or ever, with the wonder, awe, and mysterious beauty of the birth, life, death, and resurrection of God the Son, Emmanuel. I am forever grateful!

In a land far away
Time stood still
Long ago
There were shepherds in fields
Or at least this is how
The story goes
The story goes
Woman withchild
And a man with no room
Born in a manger
For telling it too
This is how
The story goes
But it is more than a fable
And it’s more than a fairytale
And more than my mind can conceive

I believe
The Wiseman saw
The baby born the angels called the son of God Heaven’s child
The great I am
Born to take away my sins through nailed pierced hands
Emmanuel has come

I believe
Two thousand years
Still the story lives on
God’s gift to us Sent to earth Wrapped in flesh
His only son
His only son
And the heartbeat of heaven
Confounded our wisdom
But it’s still the simple truth
That sets me free

I believe
The Wiseman saw
The baby born that the angels called the son of God Heaven’s child
The great I am Born to take away my sins through nailed pierced hands
Emmanuel has come

And I believe
Precious child How can it be that God’s great plan
For his story Would send you to
The lonely tree
That you would come
For one like me

I believe In a cross
I believe he came For one, he came for all Heavens child became a plan
Gave his life for me In spite of all
I am
I believe
I believe
Oh I believe
Christmas lives in me
I believe
