Everybody sing joy to the world
For the Lord, for the Lord has come
Let earth receive her King
Let every heart
Prepare Him room
And Heaven and nature sing
And Heaven and nature sing
Go tell of His glory
Go Shout the new story
Let Heaven and nature sing
(From “Joy to the World” as sung by Whitney Houston in “The Preacher’s Wife”)
This song truly captures the spirit of Christmas for me this year because it was the special selection my church choir performed during the Christmas service. I can’t help but be filled with joy every time I belt out the words “go tell of His glory” and call on others to “shout the new story.” It makes me remember that glory myself, and thank God for such a wonderful gift.
Here’s to a Merry Christmas!
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
– Isaiah 9:6 (NIV)
