The Wonder of Wonders

This post is being written by Tommy. Heidi usually writes all the post for our blog, but today I have something that I would like to share with everyone. I assume that most people are like myself and enjoy listening to and singing Christmas songs. I like fun songs like Jingle Bells and Frosty the Snowman, but I especially like songs that are about Jesus and His birth. Songs like Silent Night and O Come All Ye Faithful are among my favorites. However, I believe that the song titled The Wonder of Wonders is my very favorite Christmas song of all time. I have this song on an old cassette tape by the Inspirations. I was looking on "YouTube" and actually found this song by the Inspirations. I am going to get Heidi to try to add the link here so you can hear it for yourself (I am not technically aware, so I will not try to do it myself). I am also putting the words here so you can at least read them.

THE WONDER OF WONDERS

THE WONDER OF WONDERS, AS SHE LOOKED ON HIS FACE,
THAT THIS LITTLE BOY, SPOKE THE WORLDS INTO PLACE.
THE STARS AND THE MOON, SHINING BRIGHTLY ON THEM,
THE EARTH AND THE SUN, WERE CREATED BY HIM.

CHORUS:
THE WONDER OF WONDERS ,OH HOW COULD IT BE,
THAT GOD BECAME FLESH, AND WAS GIVIN FOR ME.
THE ALMIGHTY CAME DOWN, AND WALKED AMONG MEN,
THE WONDER OF WONDERS, HE DIED FOR MY SINS.

THE WONDER OF WONDERS, AS SHE LOOKED DOWN AND SMILED,
THAT HE WAS HER MAKER, AS WELL AS HER CHILD.
HE CREATED THE WOMB, THAT HAD GIVIN HIM BIRTH.
HE WAS GOD INCARNATE, CAME DOWN TO EARTH.

CHORUS:

THE WONDER OF WONDERS ,OH HOW COULD IT BE,
THAT GOD BECAME FLESH AND WAS GIVIN FOR ME.
THE ALMIGHTY CAME DOWN AND WALKED AMONG MEN,
THE WONDER OF WONDERS, HE DIED FOR MY SINS.

THE WONDER OF WONDERS, AS SHE HEARD HIS SMALL CRY,
THAT THIS VOICE HAD THUNDERED, ON MT. SINAI.
THE SMALL HAND SHE HELD, SO TENDERLY,
HAD MADE A DRY PATH, THROUGH THE MIGHTY RED SEA.

CHORUS:

THE WONDER OF WONDERS ,OH HOW COULD IT BE,
THAT GOD BECAME FLESH AND WAS GIVIN FOR ME.
THE ALMIGHTY CAME DOWN AND WALKED AMONG MEN,
THE WONDER OF WONDERS, HE DIED FOR MY SINS.

Our pastor has been preaching from the first chapter of the Gospel of John for the past few weeks and this morning he preached on verse 14 which says, "The word became flesh and took up residence among us. We observed His glory, the glory as the One and Only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth"(HCSB). His message was about the amazement of the incarnation, the necessity of the incarnation, and the blessing of the incarnation. It truly is amazing, and necessary, and a blessing, that our Creator became flesh and died for us. There is another song on my tape by the Inspirations titled I Love to Spend Christmas at Calvary. The chorus of this song says:

The most beautiful gift there was given,
When God Himself in mercy, decorated a tree,
The most beautiful light there is shining,
I love to spend Christmas, at Calvary.

When I think about Christmas I think about the birth of Christ. When I think about the birth of Christ I think about His death and resurrection. I am amazed that God loved us so much that He gave the greatest gift ever given when He gave us His Son Jesus. My prayer is that you know Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior and that you recognize that when God took on humanity it truly was a wonder of wonders. I hope you have a Merry Christmas and please fill free to contact me if you have any questions.
