Oh Come Let Us Adore Him


Oh come let us adore Him,
Oh come let us adore Him,
Oh come let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord!


For He alone is worthy,
For He alone is worthy,
For He alone is worthy,
Christ the Lord!


For soon You will be coming,
For soon You will be coming,
For soon You will be coming,
Christ the Lord!

Hands down--one of our favorite Christmas choruses. I was telling Dave the other day that this song need not be saved until Christmastime. I love the posture it causes us to take as the power of the words sink deeper and deeper into our spirits as we sing them.

As cheesy as the line has become since I was a kid, it couldn't be more true that He is the reason for the season. In the midst of the hustle and bustle that Christmas has unfortunately become for the masses , the coming before our Jesus in complete adoration is get-down-on-your-knees, perspective-bringing, getting-to-the-heart-of-it powerful.

Who knew that the "product" of such a beautiful, scandalous night would bring about the greatest rescuing gift that humanity would ever need to live in light, in love, wholeness and with great purpose? God did, and the Father loves His children so much that this is the only gift He saw befitting. That is just crazy to me--I CANNOT wrap my head around it.

I hope we can experience a deep gratitude, an overwhelming adoration, and an overflowing love towards our Brother, our Savior, our Lord.

Merry Christmas!
