then
hustle and bustle
busy streets
crowded homes
no room inside
the homes and inns
- or the hearts-
for the least of these
yet the King of kings
too much is happening
noise and confusion
away from home
a miracle is happening
now
hustle and bustle
busty streets
crowded homes
no room inside
the homes and lives
- or the hearts-
for the least of these
yet the King of kings
too much happening
noise and confusion
even at home
a miracle is happening
then
peace and quiet
calm hearts
wondering eyes
amazed expressions
the homes and town
-and the hearts-
of so very many
would soon know
of the least of these
yet the King of kings
so much has happened
peace and amazement
away from home
a miracle has happened
now
peace and quiet
a calm heart
wondering eyes
amazed expressions
the homes and lives
- and the hearts-
of so many
would soon know
of the least of these
yet the King of kings
so much has happened
even at home
a miracle had happened
some have rejected Him
but others accepted Him in
then and now
have you?

But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. // Galatians 4:4-5

I'm so glad you liked it! Pretty much every song by Casting Crowns is amazing. Have a blessed new year! xx
DeleteThat is a BEAUTIFUL perspective, Emily!! Thank you for sharing, and for the Casting Crowns/Matt Maher song! I'd never heard it before, but I can see why you like it so much. :)
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you! I'd never heard it before either, but I found it looking for songs for this post, and I loved it. xx
DeleteWow, that poem is so powerful. It's true. We judge the Jews back then for not being ready to meet their Saviour, but am I any different? Thanks Emily, and blessings for the new year! xx
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jessica! Definitely- I often have thought the same thing, and we need to be sure we're ready! Have a blessed new year as well! xx
