Love Came Nigh

There’s a star up in the sky
Telling me of a love that’s come nigh.
It shines so bright of heavenly glory.
It begins to tell of His story.
Love, peace, and joy… gifts from Father God
Sent to mankind walking earthly sod.
Darkness was choking the life created,
So Love stepped forth and mediated.
Pain, grief, sorrow, and dread
Would be erased when His blood was shed.
But before He would go to Calvary’s tree,
He became the child of the Christmas tree.
New life He was. New life He gave.
He came to reconcile. He came to save.
The Light that led the way that night,
Still leads men to that heavenly Light.

You See Through It All

Here alone with just You and me.
That’s the way I like it to be.
You alone within my heart and soul
Can make me feel completely whole.
When peace escapes my fretting mind,
It’s You I need to seek and find.
When burdens weigh my soul to the ground,
You bid me, “Come. Lay them down.”
You place Your arms beneath to carry,
Then linger still just to tarry.
When darkness lies to my searching eyes,
You help me to see through the disguise.
You light my world and set me free.
You smile and say, “My child, it’s Me!” 🙂

Thanks for coming for me! ❤
