Joy to the World- have we become so comfortable with the words from memory that we forget to really pay close attention to what we are singing?

I love that it says, "Let every heart prepare Him room" and also
"and heaven and nature sing"

Let every heart get ready to accept and fully embrace this Son of God for ALL that He is!  And ALL that He has done and will do!

When I stop to think about this baby, fully GOD coming to earth....leaving His comfortable spot on high to then be born in a smelly barn/cave...and yet amongst the sheep dung and most quiet place He fills the earth with His glory!! 

We are saved, we are saved!  Our Messiah has come!
Oh joy to the world indeed!

"Joy to the world! the Saviour reigns"

"He:
rules the world with truth and grace,
And
makes the nations prove the glories of His righteousness and wonders of His love"

Yikes.  He rules with truth- stand back, we should feel so unworthy and our sins exposed against His truth of Who He is, yet...BECAUSE of WHO He IS, His grace, His unfailing love takes away every mistake we know (and even the ones we don't know about) and covers us with His love to where we are as white and pure as snow.

But if that's not all, because of WHO He is, He also makes the nations prove the glory of who He is and the wonders of His love

That's some heavy lyrics, if I do say so myself.

So Joy to the world, indeed.
Let the Truth, the I AM, reign in our hearts and bring us to our knees when we consider all the majesty, all the awesomeness that our LORD is.
