oh the splendour of His greatness

Oh, the splendour of His greatness,

Oh, the beauty of His love,

Oh, the depths of His forgiveness,

The wonder of the Father's love.


Jesus the lamb for sacrifice

Shows forth His Father's plan

In love to bring back to His side

The rebel heart of man.


Oh, the splendour of His greatness,

Oh, the beauty of His love,

Oh, the depths of His forgiveness,


The wonder of the Father's love.

His Spirit given freely, 

Poured out on all who believe,

That the God of creation is mighty to save

And salvation I freely receive

Oh, the splendour of His greatness,

Oh, the beauty of His love,

Oh, the depths of His forgiveness,

The wonder of the Father's love.

Behold our God makes all things new, 

The Father of us all,

And pure we bow before His throne

In praise forevermore.

Oh, the splendour of His greatness,

Oh, the beauty of His love,

Oh, the depths of His forgiveness,

The wonder of the Father's love.

I saw the phrase 'the wonder of His love' a couple of mornings ago and so many childhood memories of singing this beautiful worship song came flooding back…! My version of the chords above (may not be completely accurate though!) xD


the Word became flesh and dwelt among us

Christ by highest heav'n adored


Christ the everlasting Lord!

Late in time behold Him come


Offspring of a Virgin's womb


Veiled in flesh the Godhead see


Hail the incarnate Deity


Pleased as man with man to dwell


Jesus, our Emmanuel


Hark! the herald angels sing

Glory to the newborn King.

Emmanuel means "God with us". 

God, through Jesus Christ, came to dwell with us and die for us so that the gulf between sinful man and holy God might be bridged. So that by believing on the name of Jesus Christ the Son of God, the Son of Man, who rose from the dead after three days, who is Lord over all creation—yes, that by believing in Jesus Christ we might have eternal life! Repent and believe the Gospel.

Oh to be with Him always. To be in Him always. 
The one and only God who loves us so.

Through Jesus, our Emmanuel. 

God with us.

"And the Word (Jesus Christ) became became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth." John 1:14

Merry Christmas.

Found this on pinterest. Some interesting thoughts, a little cliché, but neatly packaged. Resonates with me I guess~
(Well, all except the snow part :P *sigh* still dreaming of a white Christmas...)

welcoming summer

the days are longer, the dreams are wilder
the prayers are longer and wilder
straight from my heart
to His.

~Gotta pray more.

"Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
