It is amazing how a song can hit with a freshness that causes one to stop in absolute wonder. One line breathes life into that which has been known for years.

“A virgin cried when You were born. Tears of joy and tears of pain.”

Mary, a young girl, pregnant and unsure of her future. She experienced childbirth the very same way every woman before, and every woman after, has since experienced. Jesus came into this world, fully human, in the very manner each human has entered. Yet there was one significant difference …

“Fully God and fully Man.”

There He was, born of a virgin, fully God and fully Man, at the same time and lying in the manger. Jesus, He came – fully Man – in order to experience life, to show us the way to live life, and to make the way for us to live.

“Who being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, being made in human likeness.” (Philippians 2:6-7)

“You had come to give Your life as a holy sacrifice.”

He came, knowing, His life would be the sacrifice for sin for each and every human. For this was the plan from the beginning, before the foundations of the world. And He came. For me. For you.

“We were blind and lost, but You came to rescue us.”

The lyrics come from the song, Holy Lamb of God. I hope you will join me at Woman to Woman Ministries HERE, where I’ll share more thoughts and the song.
